Cornwall Beach sits along a long stretch of creamy white sand beaches just outside Montego Bay on Jamaica’s west coast. This private beach offers travelers a gentle, crystal clear sea and well-managed facilities, making it a desirable spot for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying a seaside meal.
Though popular with tourists and locals alike, Cornwall is a less crowded Montego Bay beach that most, especially its well-known neighbor, Doctor’s Cave Beach. For a small admission fee, travelers have access to showers, bathrooms, and an on-site rental center with sun beds, umbrellas, snorkel gear, and lockers. Enjoy typical Jamaican dishes and burgers at the beach bar and restaurant.
Cornwall Beach is located at the Royal Decameron Montego Beach Hotel, along the Hip Strip of Gloucester Avenue. From the center of Montego Bay, it’s about a five-minute drive.
The beach and its facilities are open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Crowds depend on the season and the time of day; generally the peak times are afternoons during high-season winter months. If you want to rent a small hut, be sure to get there early, as they go fast.
Travelers who get antsy sunbathing should incorporate one of more of these nearby attractions into the itinerary:xa0the Bob Marley Performing Arts Center, a live venue attracting big names in music; the Gallery of West Indian Art, a showcase for Caribbean art specializing in artists from Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba; or Croydon in the Mountains, a stunning working plantation growing pineapples, citrus fruits, and coffee.
