We need a new beach spot

[Mike_D]

I hear you, Cap. Not many places can compare to the vibe of Cosmo's. I didn't mind paying the few bucks for a hassle-free environment with a wide open beach and great service.

Sun Beach is pretty cool. Although it is in center of the beach, the staff keeps the higglers at bay for a chill environment. The food is pretty good, too. During the busy season it can get crowded, as Sea Star shuttles their guests there.

Moose has a good point on Canoe. Mary's Bay is small, but usually hassle free. The one drawback is that the water is kept in a natural state, meaning there is lots of sea grass and urchins. Not always the best spot for swimming, unless you snorkel out to deeper water.

The Mrs. and I have also chilled at Arthur's Bar on the beach. It's not too big, but it is popular among Jamaicans and you can usually get a lounge chair. I don't believe they serve food, but Alfred's is right next door.

ETA: My bad - Arthurs does have a grill. I just haven't eaten there.
