Hellshire Beach, Sandy beach in St. Catherine, Jamaica
Located 20 minutes from Kingston on Jamaica's south coast, Hellshire Beach features soft sand shores and multiple rustic fish huts along the waterfront.
Originally a quiet fishing village, Hellshire Beach developed into a local culinary destination when fishermen began cooking their catches directly on the shore.
Local vendors prepare traditional Jamaican fried fish in cast iron Dutch ovens over wood fires, serving it with escovitch sauce made from scotch bonnet peppers.
Visitors should bring cash for payments, arrive early on weekdays to avoid crowds, and carry towels for the wooden lounge chairs.
Each fish hut allows customers to select fresh seafood from coolers, which is then prepared according to individual preferences with local cooking techniques.
