Jamaica offers its vistors 200 miles of beaches to explore, from the quiet and natural to the full serviced busy resorts. With average temperatures between 80 F and 90 F, the climate is warm and tropical all year round. The best times to visit are between December and April, but regardless of when you visit you are almost guaranteed beautiful weather. The beaches of Jamaica offer something for everyone. For families, the 5 mile stretch of sand at Doctor's Cave Beach in Montego Bay provides soft, white sand and crystal clear calm waters. Those preferring to mingle with the crowds should head for Cornwall Beach further along the coast of Montego Bay. If you like to bare all on the beach, try the Seven Mile Beach in Negril, where sections of this long beach have been sectioned off for nudists. Boston Bay Beach in Port Antonio offers the biggest waves on the island and is a mecca for surfers and bodyboarders.
