10 Beachfront Restaurants In Jamaica

By Venesha Johnson | Associate Writer

Nothing can beat dining by the seaside, looking out at the ocean and the gorgeous hues of the sunset. Whether you’re on a romantic date or kicking back with your crew, these beachfront restaurants in Jamaica offer the perfect setting for good vibes and even better food.

Of course, you can always expect seafood fresh from the ocean! While Jamaica has no shortage of incredible beachside dining spots, here are my top 10 favourites that never disappoint.

1. Pier 1

If you’re looking for a mix of great food and an electric atmosphere, Pier 1 is the place to be. This open-air seafood spot has been a Montego Bay staple since 1986, offering stunning bay views and a lively nightlife scene. With live entertainment, DJ nights, and a menu full of fresh seafood, Pier 1 is the perfect spot to enjoy the best of Jamaica’s coastal dining.

Location: Howard Cooke Blvd, Montego Bay

2. Little Ochie Seafood Restaurant & Bar

Little Ochie is an experience! Nestled in the fishing village of Alligator Pond, this rustic seafood joint serves up some of the best fresh fish, crab, and lobster you’ll find. Your meal is cooked over an open fire, and you can even dine in one of their signature thatch-roofed boats on the sand. It’s a must-visit for authentic Jamaican seafood lovers.

Location: Alligator Pond P.O, Alligator Pond Dist.

3. Ribbiz Ocean Lounge

Kingston isn’t just about city life, Ribbiz Ocean Lounge gives you a taste of the capital with a side of sea views.

5. House Boat Grill

Dining on an actual houseboat? Yes, please! The House Boat Grill offers a one-of-a-kind experience in Montego Bay, where you can enjoy your meal on the Moon Deck with the water all around you. The international menu features fresh seafood, and the setting is as romantic as it gets.

7. Miss Lily’s at Skylark

Miss Lily’s brings a modern twist to classic island flavours. Located at Skylark Negril Beach Resort, this vibrant beachside eatery is famous for its jerk meats, fresh seafood, and reggae-fueled nightlife. Grab a rum cocktail and enjoy the laid-back but lively atmosphere.

10. Gloria’s Seafood City

Port Royal has a long history of pirates and adventure, and Gloria’s is where you go for legendary seafood in this historic town. The escovitch fish and curried shrimp are local favourites, and the laid-back vibe makes it the perfect spot for a relaxed seaside meal.

Jamaica’s beachfront restaurants offer more than just a meal, they give you an experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic candlelit dinner by the waves or a lively seafood feast with friends, there’s a spot for every vibe.
