Small but very pretty beach. Very senic and peaceful. Helpful staff and good drinks service. Some building noise as they build a new beach bar which will be great when complete. Not a snorkling beach because the sea surges through the narrow cove. more

This beach and cove has such character-from the quaint swing above the cove, to the rope swing and the crashing waves on the beach-you won't regret spending time here! The beach was smaller than I expected but so incredibly gorgeous it didn't matter. My husband and I went to PA in June (the slow season) and practically had the entire... more

It costs J$200 to get in, but it's worth it! It's a lovely place to laze around for a day. You can also have lunch, rent a louger for J$100, get drinks. They have facilities, but they're not the cleanest. The beach itself is a pretty spot, kids can run around. It's a lovely spot! more

This is a smaller beach, but is beautiful. There is a stream that flows into one end of the beach, which provides some cool waters. You can get some beach chairs (J$100 each), and get some lunch or drinks to you. There are some small tables on stakes (i.e. movable). There are also some bathrooms just off the beach. The... more

Had a great time at Frenchman's Cove with in-laws & spouse. A great place for body surfing and boogie board surfing or just jumping waves; also, the cool stream water entering from the side is a fun place to swim and rinse off. You can get a nice chicken ($7) or fish ($10) lunch right on the beach, and buy... more

I have been to Frenchman’s Cove twice. I enjoyed going to Frenchman’s Cove so much on my first visit that I made it a priority to visit the beach on my next trip to Jamaica a year later. I plan on visiting the beach again when I go to Jamaica next month. Frenchman’s Cove is an amazing beach. Although it... more
