Bloody Bay Beach

Bloody Bay Beach is a sandy shoreline on Jamaica's northern coast near Negril, lined with palm trees along its edge. The water remains shallow for a considerable distance from shore, making it suitable for wading and swimming.

The name comes from the 19th century when the bay served as a base for whaling operations along Jamaica's northern waters. This maritime history shaped the location before it became a modern beach destination.

Fishermen from the local community use this beach as their daily workplace, launching boats and working with traditional fishing methods. The sight of their activity is part of the everyday rhythm here.

The beach is accessible through public entry points and resort areas, with changing facilities and bathrooms scattered throughout. The shallow water depth makes it easy to explore on foot.

The water remains so shallow that large areas become exposed at low tide, creating natural pools across the sand. These spaces catch and reflect light differently at sunrise and sunset.
