Flavours Beach, Public beach in Runaway Bay, Jamaica.
Flavours Beach is a public sandy stretch in Runaway Bay on Jamaica's north coast, lined with pine and palm vegetation along its borders. The site includes a beachfront restaurant, changing facilities, and distinct swimming zones created by a seawall on the east side and a jetty to the west.
The beach was originally known as Cardiff Hall Public Beach before becoming a gathering place for locals. The opening of the Flavours Beach restaurant marked a turning point that transformed the location into an established destination.
Local artisans set up along the sand selling traditional Jamaican crafts and giving visitors a chance to learn about regional handmade traditions. Their daily presence shapes the beach's character and connects visitors directly with local makers.
Changing rooms are available on site, and you can eat at the beachfront restaurant with various menu options. The western zone with the jetty offers calmer waters for swimming, while the eastern area protected by the seawall provides another sheltered option.
The beach has two distinct swimming zones separated by natural structures that offer different water conditions for different swimmers. This layout allows visitors to choose between calmer protected waters and slightly more open areas based on their preference.
