Silver Sands beach
Silver Sands Beach, located in northwestern part of Jamaica, is known as one of the most peaceful beaches on the island. It got its name from the very light sand that covers the edge of the shore, walking along the sea. This is the beach chosen by tourists who want to live in silence, enjoying privacy, but too far from the main resort center - Montego Bay. In addition to regular visitors, Silver Sands has long been popular among advanced windsurfers, which was facilitated by the weather conditions of the region.
