Bluefields Beach, Public beach in Westmoreland Parish, Jamaica

Bluefields Beach is a narrow public beach in Bluefields, south-east Westmoreland, Jamaica, about 1 km long. It has soft white sand with quite a few stones, which may have appeared after Hurricane Dean. The old Black River to Savanna-la-Mar road runs behind it, separated from the sand by only a low stone wall.

The old road from Black River to Savanna-la-Mar ran directly beside the beach, separated from the sand only by a low stone wall. In the 1990s a bypass was built slightly more inland, and the beach is now reached through gates at the western end of that bypass. Stones on the sand may have arrived after Hurricane Dean.

Fish vendors prepare freshly caught seafood at the beach, showing visitors how traditional Jamaican coastal cooking works with local catches. This kind of food activity is part of how people use the beach every day.

The beach is reached through gates at the western end of the bypass road, with parking on the approach road and inside the gated park. A separate gate gives pedestrians access to the old road beside the beach. Showers, changing rooms and toilets in the wooded park are available for a fee, and the sand itself has little shade and no chairs or umbrellas.

The old Black River to Savanna-la-Mar road runs right beside the sand, separated from it only by a low stone wall. A bypass built in the 1990s moved traffic inland, and visitors now enter through gates at its western junction, with a second gate giving pedestrians access to the old road by the beach.
