Cardiff Hall Public Beach
Beach
Cardiff Hall Public Beach is a free-access swimming beach in St. Ann Parish, Jamaica, located on the outskirts of Ocho Rios near the Cardiff Hall residential community. The beach features a sandy cove with calm waters, basic facilities, and a relaxed local atmosphere distinct from the resort-managed beaches in central Ocho Rios. Cardiff Hall is popular with Jamaican families on weekends and offers an affordable beach day without the entrance fees charged at private beach clubs. Food vendors sell jerk chicken, fried fish, and cold drinks from roadside stalls. The beach sits within a 10-minute drive of Dunn's River Falls and Mystic Mountain. Aurum Transfers provides private airport transfers from Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ) starting at $95 for up to four guests, with complimentary Starlink WiFi. The 40 minute drive from OCJ follows the coast west into St. Ann.
