Sitting less than 10 miles east of Port Antonio's town center, Boston Beach is known for its clear waters' surfer-friendly waves and the shore's soft, powder-white sands. But even more prominently, Boston Beach is renowned for its delicious, authentically Jamaican eats. This beach claims to be the birthplace of jerk seasoning, so come hungry and ready to taste-test at the nearby Boston Jerk Center, which features jerk foods. You might even enjoy some live music while sampling the flavors.

The water here can get a bit rough, which is why it's a favored spot among surfers. But for that reason, it's not the best beach for young children.

This private beach charges 200 Jamaican dollars, or the equivalent of about $1.50, but it features access to restrooms and parking.
