Puerto Seco Beach

Puerto Seco Beach is a sandy shore in Discovery Bay lined with palm trees and planted greenery. The space includes swimming areas and places to rest along the water's edge.

Christopher Columbus landed here in 1494 during his first voyage to the Caribbean. This landing marked the location as historically important in Jamaica's story.

Local vendors along the shore prepare grilled chicken and fresh seafood, shaping the food culture of the location. The beach is popular with Jamaican families who spend weekends swimming and relaxing by the water.

The beach has swimming areas and shaded spots spread along the shore for visitors to choose from. Sun exposure can be strong in the afternoon, so planning time in the morning is often more comfortable.

A dolphin encounter facility nearby offers visitors a chance to learn about marine life up close. This addition makes the location more than just a swimming spot and attracts people interested in ocean animals.
