Seven Mile Beach is probably the most well-known beach in Jamaica. It is the perfect Caribbean beach: long, wide, white sand, calm seas, crystal clear, warm water, coconut trees and flowers.
An ideal place to relax, take a refreshing swim, practise water sport activities, take a stroll or experience the colours and feelings of watching a sunset over the sea.
