Burwood Beach (Bounty Bay), Trelawny

North-coast beach east of Falmouth, described as Jamaica's best wind and kite spot. A gently sloping sandy bottom without the reef found on most of the coast makes it safer than other beaches. Turn off the highway at the Bounty Bay sign about 1.5 km east of the Breezes Trelawny resort.
