Located in the town of Oracabessa on Jamaica's northern coast, James Bond beach - also known as Roaring River or Laughing Waters beach - gained fame as the romantic backdrop for scenes in the iconic James Bond film "Dr. No".
Opposite the beach lies the GoldenEye estate, where author Ian Fleming created the popular Bond novels, now reportedly owned by Bob Marley's former music producer.
Characterized by its powdery sands, crystal-clear waters, and swaying palm trees, this beach boasts a unique feature in its expansive green lawn, frequently hosting an array of musical performances and festivals.
Visitor reviews highlight that the beach is a beautiful and tranquil place with decent bird life, great local food, and excellent maintenance. Visitors complain about the bad road leading to the beach, high restaurant prices, and untrained security staff causing delays at the gate.
