Frenchman's Cove beach on Postcard

"Hike to a Hideaway Frenchman's Cove is more than a beach. It's an idyllic escape. After paying a small entrance fee—used to preserve the grounds—you'll hike about five minutes through verdant gardens flanked by an emerald river stream, before the views open onto a glorious beach and the Caribbean Sea. This cove was once a favorite romantic escape for Elizabeth Taylor and Burt Reynolds, and it's not hard to see why. When you tire of the beach and waves, hop over to the river and swing from the vines into the fresh water. It's an ideal spot to spend the day, for couples or for families."

Beautiful place,last time I went was 2022. Can’t wait to go back,it was 1000 Jamaican dollars to go in. Food is on sale over there but it’s abit expensive thou. Love this beach,it’s worth the distance.

Excellent beach and scenery👌🏽. It's $2000 to enter and has nice clean sand, with freshwater and saltwater with space or seating accommodations (at a small cost) on along the beach. Food and dining is available. Changing rooms/bathrooms are very clean. I would definitely recommend this one for chill day👍🏽

The beach was clean with ample shade for lounging. It costs JMD$300 to rent a lounge seat but it is worth it. Entrance to the beach costs JMD$2000. The waves do get rough so be cautious of that but there is a section with a river if you prefer the calm. The downsides are the bathrooms aren't kept clean, and you can't carry your own food or drink to the beach and no igloos either. However, food and drinks are offered on the beach at a cost.

This is one of those attractions that should be visited once, even though the concept and price are annoying! Price for the entrance on their page is 1800 JMD, but at the entrance they charge 2000!!! They don't accept cards. Toilets are not clean and that's just not fair for the price! As already mentioned, I wouldn't miss seeing this attractive beach and would defenetely recommend, but it's not that special that I would go back, especially not for that price and conditions!

Nice place. Could be cleaner on the beach as you have to pay entrance fee.

This is a wonderful small sandy beach that is privately owned and requires a reasonable entrance fee in order to gain access. The beach is well maintained with crystal clear waters that are perfect for bathing. A pristine river flows into one side of the beach and offers another alternative for bathing. There is ample parking available that is a short walk to the beach. Visitors can rent beach lounge chairs for a fee and there is an on-site restaurant that serves refreshments and food. I have been to this beach several times over the past few years and have always enjoyed my time here.

We arrived at 9am and it was amazing to be first people on the beach. The freshwater river is beautiful lush green and the beach is a perfect Caribbean cove. Stunning nature. Restaurant had good jerk.
