Swimming:

 

Within walking distance from your vacation cottage is the picturesque Fishermen´s Beach, here the beach has small pebbles - but it is a perfect spot for snorkeling and a refreshing swim. You can also purchase the freshly caught fish and various types of shellfish.

For a day on the beach we recommend the authentic Caribbean Sugar Pot Beach with bar and a restaurant with delicious seafood (lobster etc). Meet the locals, off the beaten track. 

 

Shopping:

Around the corner from your vacation cottage sits a charming old woman in her small kiosk. There you can purchase the most important basic foodstuffs; similar typical Jamaican stores and bars are in close vicinity.

 

The next supermarket can be reached within 15min. walk. In the center of Oracabessa (2 miles distance) there are two more supermarkets, a post office, ATM machines, bars, restaurants as well as a fruit and vegetable market. Larger markets and supermarkets, souvenir shops, local and international restaurants, banks, ATMs etc. are located in the cities of Ocho Rios and Port Maria.

 

Dining out

Close to your cottage there are several bars and typical Jamaican street restaurants , where you definitely should try  Jerk (Jamaican barbecue speciality) and vegetable dishes..
