History
The site originated as part of Abingdon Estate, established in 1674, with the remains of a fortified plantation house still visible on the grounds. These structures trace back to the early colonial settlement of the island.

The beachfront restaurants serve traditional Jamaican cooking, with grilled lobster and garlic butter being signature preparations you can taste here. Local food traditions shape the dining experience along the shore.

The beach has loungers, showers, and pavilions where you can rest and find shade throughout the day. Multiple dining spots right on the water make it convenient to grab food without leaving the grounds.
