About Bluefields Beach
Bluefields Beach is a sandy beach located in Wetmoreland, Jamaica. It spans an area of 5,580 square meters and is 379 meters long. The nearest town is Bluefields village, 1,105 meters away, and the closest airport is Negril Aerodrome, 37 kilometers away.
Bluefields Beach Park is a public beach in Bluefields in the south-east of Westmoreland, Jamaica. It gets very busy at weekends and holidays.
The old road from Black River to Savanna-la-Mar is separated from the beach by only a low stone wall. However, this old road was replaced by a slightly more inland bypass in the 1990s and one now approaches the beach through gates from a junction at the western end of this bypass. As a result, there is now extensive car parking on the approach road and within a gated beach park. The whole area can become very full on holidays. A further set of gates provides pedestrian access to the old road by the beach.
