Boston Beach

Boston Beach is situated on the eastern coast of Jamaica, a mere 30-minute drive from Port Antonio City. The verdant green foliage surrounding the beach provides ample shade from the sun's rays.

Although the activity isn't very prevalent in Jamaica, Boston Beach is among the limited few locations in the country that offers waves suited for surfing. The beach boasts of water that is somewhat more untamed than other beaches on the island; thus, it caters ideally to watersport enthusiasts but may present challenges to inexperienced swimmers and children.

Boston Beach: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, May 16, 2026
Today is an unfavorable day for a visit to Boston Beach, so it is best to plan your seaside activities for another time. You will encounter persistent and heavy rainfall throughout the day, which will significantly dampen any plans for sunbathing or relaxing on the sand. While the air temperature will reach 30.5 °C and the water remains warm at 28.2 °C, the constant rain and choppy waves reaching 1.3 m make this a poor choice for swimming or coastal recreation. If you do head out, please be cautious as the wind is quite active and the UV Index is high at 9.1, meaning you could still burn quickly despite the clouds. It is safer to stay indoors and wait for clearer skies.
