What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bluefields Beach Park is praised for its lovely, clear, and warm waters, making it a great family spot with lifeguards for safety. However, the restroom and changing facilities are consistently noted as being in poor condition and in urgent need of upgrades. +1
"Lovely beach with clear water. There were a few seaweed close to shore but not enough to hinder your fun. Food and refreshment are sold there along with floaty and beach toys. Great please to Bring the family. There are life guards posted for your safety along with a Line that shows you where it gets deeper. Bathrooms and and area to change is also available along with multiple parking space. A small river is located under the bridge on the main road. It's a great spot to laydwn and relax"

"I'm not sure if it was because it was a Wednesday that we visited, why this beach wasn't crowded. It was pretty empty, with just about a dozen other persons, enjoying the really warm and inviting water. The water felt like a spa... really great!! Parking on the outside of the premises was easy. However, loads of parking are also available on the inside. There is a JMD$100.00 fee for the use of the toilet facility and changing rooms. These facilities need URGENT upgrading, though. Take your own toiletries if you do not wish to be inconvenienced. The toilets do flush, and there was water to wash hands after use. This is not always the case with most public toilets. There didn't seem to be any upgrades since the place opened "donkey" years ago. One is also not able to make any purchases on the inside as these facilities are in disrepair and closed. The premises are well kept with beautiful flowers and trees. It has two (2) wash off showers on the outside (that works). If you didn't take your own food and drinks, vendors are on the outside selling jerk chicken and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. I did enjoy the beautiful premises and the warm water as can be seen from the pictures."

"It was packed on Labor Day. Why do people run away at the first drizzle of rain while at the beach? They need to take the debris out of the water."
