Check out my post, we just got back yesterday. We had two bartenders tell us to walk back to hotel via the road and stay off the beach. We figured if Jamaicans are telling us to stay off beach, then its best to stay off beach. We have done this the last two trips, Feb and just the most recent and never had any probs on roadside. Bartender told us Kingston gang boys congregating at certain resorts which I won't name but they play music at night which is the attraction.
