“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy.’” – Sylvia Plath
I know Jamaica was chosen for your vacation because of the breathtaking beaches in Port Antonio Jamaica. Fine, I might have made that up. We shall let it be known as a possible truth.
Nevertheless, you possibly have heard so many things about Portland because of the many visitors to the parish.
They cannot stop talking about how stunning Portland is. Well, I know I can’t. It is proudly the longest beach in the Portland Parish, and one of the longest of Jamaica beaches.
Long bay is located in the parish of Portland. It is situated along an unbroken breath of untouched shoreline with an intensely beautiful view of the seaside.
Enclosed by blue-green waters and palm trees, the Long bay is the home for surfers and is worth seeing when you are on the island.
If you are annoyed with packed beaches and want a beach all for yourself, Long Bay is where you want to visit. It is a peaceful getaway where you can meditate, spend a restful day or have a social event except for local holidays.
Taking part in traditional activities is a part of the real experience of touring a local beach. Scattered along the beach are, bars, grocery shops guest houses restaurants.
My neighbour’s daughter my niece and I took a trip to three destinations on the St Mary bus in Half Way Tree on the 28 of July 2017.
We started our day with a goal to visit Tacky Falls in St Mary Reach falls in Portland and Long Bay Beach also in Portland. I must say that goal was accomplished.
The final stop which was long bay beach was short but the time spent was amazing. We got home so late that night because there was little or no public transportation. We had to fight our way into a taxi which I must say was a lot of fun.
The girls slept through the ride while I was wide awake, thinking why I left Long Bay so late. It was so unlike me. I don’t own a vehicle; therefore I am always aware of my departure time. But I must admit Long Bay Beach had me star struck.
There are no entrance fees. If you want a perfect afternoon of rejuvenation and relaxation Long Bay Beach is the perfect surrounding.
