The blessed island of Jamaica is lined with stunning beaches and limestone cliffs. Thelimestone is formed over millions of years from the accumulated skeletons of sea-dwelling creatures such as mollusc and corals. Two thirds of the island is covered in this rock.
One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to explore new beaches and spend time on the seashores of this sea. From swimming, snorkeling, cliff jumping, boating, or just chilling on the shores, the energy of the Caribbean sea is like nothing else. It’s literally indescribable!
Whenever I spend time in, on or next to this ocean – I feel closer to the higher powers at be. It’s a sacred place, a place of healing and strength. I can sit and listen to the waves tell stories. In addition, I have the freedom to tell the ocean any little thing on my mind. I feel like it’s listening and assisting in guiding me to look deep within and search for comfort, healing. I listen to the signs around me to help establish answers to my questions and wonders of life. It’s a beautiful thing.
You cant really overstand it, until you experience it first hand. I would love if you would come visit an allow me to show you around and experience this healing bliss for yourself. Anything is possible in Jamaica. As we explore these places, I absolutely love snapping photos and taking videos to share these amazing beautiful locations of the island. Please enjoy and leave comments if you feel the vibes to do so 😉

This seaside location is nearby where I live in Orange Hill. If you take the road down the hill to the sea there is this amazing chill spot that locals call “Haul up”. In the morning hours before the sun gets hot is my favorite time to sit here and take it in. It’s super secluded and special to me.
Xtabi – West End Cliffs, Negril
This next place I’m sharing on the west end of Negril was captured at the beautiful property of Xtabi. (Xtabi is an Arawak word meaning “Meeting Place of the Gods) The wata is always super clear and clean at this location. The reef is thriving and the energy here is incredible. I spent many hours working on this website at this location, taking in the ocean energy, the sunshine and looking out at the dolphins frolicking out at the deep sea. This place is magical in every way. There are three platforms with ladders to use for swimming and cliff jumping, its a favorite among tourists and locals alike.
Frenchman’s Cove
This gem is located in the eastern parish of Portland. In the sleepy town of Port Antonio. This is one of my favorite places on the east side of the island. It’s a special place where the river meets the ocean. The cold fresh river water mixes with the warm salty sea water in a lush, crystal-clear, sandy paradise setting. There are many birds and stunning wildlife that share this area, along with The energy at this place is something else! There is a small fee to enter the area, but its totally worth it. I could easily spend an entire day here. The cove is one of the most stunning I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend spending a day (or longer) here.
Silver Sands Beach, Duncans
7 mile beach, Negril
Negril’s 7 mile beach is known to be one of the most popular in the world, rated #8 by Trip Advisor Travelers Choice award for 2018. Known for its white sand and crystal clear turquoise water, it’s a beach that will take your breath away with it’s beauty. Take in the laid back vibe and the sounds of reggae in your ears as beach bands walk up and down the 7 mile stretch giving you a taste of the “sounds of Jamaica”. One can enjoy many waterspouts including kayak, paddle board. One of my favorite things to do is take a glass bottom boat to the reefs and the island off the coast called “Boobie Key” to enjoy a fresh caught lobster cooked over an open fire. It’s a MUST try.
So many adventures to be had!!!!
While you’re chillin’ at the beach, you could also try parasailing, take various fishing trips, catamaran cruises and more! If your looking for more of a chill vibe, you may choose to spend many hours lounging in a beach chair with an umbrella enjoying a cold drink and a book. Some of the best people watching can be done from this beach. From watching kids and tourists play, locals selling fruits, patties, coco bread, jelly coconut, hand made jewelry and just about anything else you can think of. You can easily spend an entire day at this beach enjoying all it has to offer. There are many many bars, restaurants, hotels and little chill spots up and down this beach. There’s something to do for everyone! I enjoy spending afternoons here with friends and family…lounging, swimming and feeling my feet in the sand.
I will be adding to this post as I collect more photos and videos on my travels. Thanks for reading/looking!
