Great River or other swimming on south coast?

[sabu]

I remember stopping by one of the mineral spring fed swimming area on the road from St Elizabeth area to Accompong. Seemed to be a few different spots - some with food, some undeveloped but can't recall the details. Must have been in a dream state!

Liz, I can't remember the spot I am thinking of. I have gone back over the maps a few times, it's just lost in the fog. I don't think it is any of those posted so far, it was just a little pull off the side of the road and a short hike to the swimming hole. It was on a section of north/south road, heading north the river is on the right. I want to say it was in St Bess, but that's all I got.

Steve's is a nice chill place been there a couple times and enjoyed.

Just to report back, we wound up stopping at the beach in Belmont. Our driver (Chicken) has a friend with a nice little bar/grill (King Love) on a lovely beach with a swing and shade and incredible swimming (clear and calm water and white sand, very few people even though we were there on a Saturday). I'll definitely go by there again.

We stayed on a river later in the trip for a couple of nights, actually on the Great River (which does not reach the south coast but comes down from the cockpits to the north coast).

Great spot! Went there with Chicken and some friends and enjoyed the time there. Belmont is a great spot to stop and enjoy some quiet time with zero hassle. Any chance Liz you will get the blog going again? Your South Coast input is what took us down that way.

Blog is still there though I haven't had time to update it from this trip yet, but I do have lots of photos and stuff to share. Will be getting to it later this week probably, once my daughter heads back to college

So happy my south coast posts brought you there!
