Coral Garden Community Beach

Coral Garden Community Beach is a public sandy shoreline with fine white sand located in Saint James, Jamaica. Rock formations dot the water's edge, and the area behind the beach is covered with native trees including West Indian almond and seaside mahoe.

The beach sits in Saint James parish on Jamaica's northern coast, a region shaped by centuries of maritime activity and colonial settlement. Proximity to what is now Sangster International Airport made the area strategically important for transportation and trade.

Local families use this beach as a gathering place for swimming and fishing throughout the year. The community takes care of the area and maintains a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and residents alike.

The beach is free to access and located about 10 minutes from the international airport, making it easy to reach. Parking is available in grassy areas nearby, and the water is suitable for swimming year-round.

The shallow water offshore contains seagrass meadows and remnants of old coral formations visible beneath the surface. These underwater features attract people interested in snorkeling and observing marine life.
