San San Beach
A white-sand crescent east of Port Antonio with calm, shallow, reef-protected water that families like. A concrete dock in the bay is where boats leave for Monkey Island. Quieter than the better-known Portland beaches.
Getting there
Easy. On the A4 east of Port Antonio, about 30 minutes from town, paved. A small entry fee is charged but sources disagree on the amount, so ask on arrival. The shoreline narrows toward evening, so keep belongings away from the water.
