Cornwall beach
Private Cornwall Beach is located on the west side of Montego Bay, one of Jamaica's largest cities. In the past it was a publicly accessible city beach, whose infrastructure has been renovated and modernized. Despite its convenient location - only a few minutes' walk from HipStrip and beach facilities, it is not visited by locals, so it is famous among tourists as a quiet and cozy place for family beach vacation.

Mostly Cornwall Beach is chosen by those who would like to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy the gentle blue water, clean fine white sand, beautiful views, and a long drive away. Families, loving couples, single people who want to take advantage of all the comforts of civilization while resting at sea spend time here. There are all conditions for that on Cornwall Beach. The descent to the water in the area is gentle and the sea bottom without algae and stones, which is especially important for those who rest here with children. Besides, there is a rescue service on the beach, ready to provide immediate assistance.

When you go to the beach, you should consider that Cornwall Beach has beach huts that offer shelter from the scorching sun. But you need to be prepared for the fact that they can all be busy, and the natural shadows here is very little, so you should at least take care of an umbrella with a deck chair, protective cream, and headgear in advance. Usually, the beach has calm water and a light breeze, but in the low season for several days in a row, there are high waves that do not even let you enter the water, not that swimming or diving.
