More about Boston Bay surfspot

Boston Beach is Jamaica’s first recognized surf spot, offering white sand beach, crystal clear water and its notorious spicy Jerk chicken or pork, which always draws a small crowd of locals, expats and tourists. Lefts wedge off the outside rock or there’s a fat right on the other side of the tight, wind protected bay. Less consistent than Long Bay and perfect for beginners in the usual chest-high soft breakers.

General: Boston Bay in Portland is a picturesque cliff cove with a reef in the middle of the entrance, which kicks a left on one side and a right on the other. Sometimes it will even send a nice A-frame right down the center. Tides: Any depending on size Size: Chest high to 3' overhead Wind: S Swell: NE Bottom: reef Paddling: Easy overall but can get challenging on hurricane swells. Spot Rating: Less consistent than Long Bay and perfect for beginners in the usual chest-high soft breakers.
