Jamaica has over 600 miles of coastline, yet many Jamaicans feel like access to their own beaches is slowly disappearing.

Places like Hellshire, Winnifred, Boston Bay and Bluefields have long been part of Jamaican life and culture for generations. Families grew up swimming there, fishing there and creating memories there long before luxury developments arrived.

Now, many people say beach access is becoming harder, with entrance fees, blocked pathways and growing concerns about privatization.

While Jamaica’s Beach Control Act speaks about public access, many Jamaicans believe the reality on the ground feels very different.

To many people, the beach is more than a tourist attraction. It is part of Jamaica’s identity, heritage and way of life.

Do you believe Jamaican beaches should always remain easily accessible to the public? Why or why not?
