Grab a chaise lounge and prepare to relax in the shade or bake in the sun

If the packed public beaches of Jamaica are not your style, then Rose Hall Beach Club will give you a relatively secluded option. Billed as one of the top four beaches in Montego Bay, Rose Hall is located a bit off the beaten path but the amenities are worth the trouble to get to there. The white-sand beaches and crystal waters are as good as any on the island, and beach-goers have access to a restaurant, two bars, a covered pavilion, and a variety of rental equipment and activities. Whether you want to sunbathe, snorkel, sail a catamaran, wind surf, or join in a beach-volleyball match, Rose Hall ensures that the crowds won’t spoil your beach experience.

A short distance from the beach, the Cinnamon Hill Golf Course offers challenging play and spectacular scenery

Rose Hall is also located next to the exquisite Cinnamon Hill Golf Course, where rolling fairways parallel the Caribbean, offering challenging shots as well as stunning scenery. In the evening, the Rose Hall Resort lights giant bonfires on the beach and coordinates a variety of entertainment, including limbo competitions and treasure hunts. Rose Hall Beach Club is located on the northwest coast of Jamaica, 11 miles east of Montego Bay.
