The attractive strip of white sand hosts large-scale annual music events, such as Follow Di Arrow , Beach J’Ouvert and Fully Loaded (watch out for event posters in Ocho Rios). During the week it’s pretty quiet but on weekends, in particular, visitors flock to Stingray City to snorkel and swim with the resident stingrays or to take part in jet-ski safaris (J$6000) and glass-bottom boat rides (J$3000) along the coast. A small bar and restaurant provides refreshment.
Adjacent to the Bond beach is Fisherman’s Beach , a rootsy alternative where one can enjoy simple I-tal and seafood fare and the occasional sound-system party.
