About James Bond Beach

From Wikipedia

James Bond Beach sits on a small peninsula at Oracabessa Bay, approximately 10 miles or 16 kilometres from the Jamaican north coast town of Ocho Rios.

It is so called because Sean Connery filmed scenes for Dr. No (the very first James Bond film) at this beach in 1962.
