Many other beaches are free but maybe not quite as nearby or safe. See Margaritaville beach for free if enter through Island Village area from main drag, many more things to play on for kids and teens plus but smaller beach area, but it is also FREE!

Ochos Rios Beach is a smaller beach but very nice and has beautiful views of the Carribean Ocean.which seems to go on forever.

Beaches at sister hotel excellent too, whilst the beach at Tower Isle is smaller but ideal for the gorgeous beach party that Couples Tower Isle put on each week.

Nice beach in the centre of Ocho Rios. Sun beds available for £5. However this is not family place at times - there are many local thugs offering drugs who stay on the beach day and night including washing in the sea what I could witness from my hotel room.

Was only at this beach for a short time, but it was very nice. Beautiful water and clean. Much better than the resort we stayed at which was full of seaweed. (RIU) Ocho Rios.

This beach is incredibly beautiful! A must do. We went in the morning to beat the crowd from the cruises and it was well worth it.

This is a lovely beach, but the water isn't clear because of the sand. I got stung by a jellyfish, so beware.

DO NOT do any "official", "organized", or "pre-booked shore-tours". Take a walk through the bulls#!t and you'll find Kevin. I had 4hrs to kill in Ocho Rios with no plan, and this guy reaffirmed my faith in humanity. If you want to get hustled and waste your money on tourist s#!t, then fine, but my advice is to find Kevin, and he will show you everything and anything you want from your vacation. Everything and anything.

Ocho Rios beach is a public beach in the center of town. If you are arriving by Cruise ship this is an easy place to get to for a day of swimming. You are in the bay where the ships arrive so the view is of the marina and pier and there are 2 hotels on this area as well. There are restaurants nearby and restrooms on the beach. The water is pretty bu the beach is not very long for walking. Definitely enough for a few hours and a quick beach visit.

Resort is built right on the water which is nice, BUT therefore the beach is small. The lounge chairs were uncomfortable and weird!

Very clean beach calm and relaxing no body arrasing you live the 7 mile beach in negril but you have to pay on this beach which I think it should be free

Went on an excursion via a cruise on carnival. The excursion was booked thru vacations to go( I recommend this site if you are going on a cruise) and it was to go horseback riding on the beach! MY 2 FAVORITE THINGS!!!! the excursion was about 4 hrs which included transportation there n back, plus riding the horse then a few breaks. It was around $60 a person. I'am an expereinced rider but my boyfriend is NOT! so they but you with the horse you are compatible with and can control. oh, by the way there is a small bar that serves water, beer, alcohol and snacks, before you leave to go on horse & when you come back. BE prepared that horses do go neck deep in the water with you on their back. this was a once in a lifetime fantastic experience!

Came on the Carnival Breeze with another couple, did the horrible Straw Market, walked through a resort to this beach, looked like a locals beach, paid $2.00 p.p. entrance fee and immediately was approached to rent a lounge. Kept walking all the way to a small beach bar which was surprising friendly. Started drinking OverProof rum and Cokes. Wife changed and went swimming, beautiful and warm. She swam for an hour and than enjoyed some other local traditions and had a wonderful afternoon with the owners before making it back to the ship with the aid of my wife. Later that evening she filled me in on my exploits and we both laughed and reminisced.

Crystal blue waters, hot sun, and rude, annoying Rastas trying to sell me drugs or making snide racial comments.
