Frenchman's Cove Beach, Sand beach in Port Antonio, Jamaica
The sand beach stretches along a curved bay where a freshwater river from the Blue Mountains joins the Caribbean Sea waters.
British forces defeated French soldiers in a naval battle near the cove during the 18th century, giving the location its current name.
The beach maintains connections to traditional Jamaican culture through local food vendors who prepare regional dishes at the shoreline restaurant.
The beach operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entrance fees of 2,500 Jamaican dollars for adults and 1,500 for children.
A natural freshwater river flows directly into the Caribbean Sea, creating two distinct swimming environments within the same beach area.
