Winifred Beach, Public beach in Portland Parish, Jamaica
The beach extends along the northeastern coast, featuring golden sand on the western side and rocky formations on the eastern portion near a pond.
The beach received its name from the daughter of Quaker minister F B Brown and initially served as a rest area for missionaries and teachers.
Local community members won a five-year legal battle against the Urban Development Corporation to maintain the beach as a public space for everyone.
Visitors can access changing rooms, bathroom facilities, food vendors, and craft stalls while lifeguards monitor swimming activities during opening hours from 9 am to 5 pm.
The eastern section of the beach contains a natural pond that flows into the Caribbean Sea through a small water channel.
