- One of the most BEAUTIFUL BEACHES in the WORLD is called Frenchman's Cove and located in Portland, Jamaica.
If you're looking for the best beach in Jamaica, you should take your time to travel all the way to Portland and visit Frenchman's Cove. This is a hidden lagoon that was once used as a getaway for the rich and famous, but it is now available to the public.
Frenchman’s Cove beach is a private lagoon. Probably one of the most photographed places in the Caribbean. It is indeed picture perfect, surrounded on both sides by vegetated rocky cliffs. There is this stunning contrast between the dark green rainforest, deep blue sky, turquoise sea water and bright white sand - all of this make this place Jamaica Paradise..

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my dear subscribers! Let's celebrate the fact that 2020 is finally OVER 🎉🎉🎉. Wishing you the very best for 2021 and for those who are not in Jamaica yet, I hope you get a chance to visit very soon! 🥳💚💛❤️🖤
Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊 Irina and family...
Happy New Year to you.
Happy New Year Irina! All the Best to you and your family. 2021 will be a Great Year!
Check this UA-camr: ua-cam.com/channels/tfwE_imVPOW2Hq66EtVmHQ.html (Jessica Cargill). Maybe you could work with her.
I'm a jamaican and i learn more here about the land of JA from you than anywhere else, great job don't ever stop
I literally told someone this last night and told them to check out Irina's channel as proof.
I am a born Jamaican 🇯🇲 and I have never known this history. Thank you Irie for this great information💕💕👍
From the UK. Thanks Irine. Always comprehensive. The Jamaican Tourist Board could learn a thing or two from You. Perfection!!!
I have been there. Actually stayed there about 15 years ago. The beach was perfect for latenight skinny dipping. Though the resort was a bit run down.
I wish that I could visit this heaven on Earth 🌎 in this New year 🔥
Just arrived in JA. I might take a trip next week. Thanks Irie🇺🇸🇬🇧🇯🇲💯
Frenchman's Cove is one of my favourite places in Jamaica to visit. The sheer beauty is off the scale. Thank you for showcasing it
I stayed there a few years ago, yes indeed loved it..
O wow, I had no idea such magical, beautiful places existed in Jamaica! This is why we won't ever allow another host to do this channel. Sorry Irina, but you're stuck with us to the bitter end >:)
Keep dropping the knowledge into 2021. I'll bet Jamaicans learning about their country by your interest in sharing research. Happy New Year Irina!
Aaron Davis. Jamaicans are not excited about Jamaica in the way that foreigners are because they live there and take it for granted. Believe it or not many Londoners do not know the 4 corners of some of the historic places of interest in the way that visitors/foreigners do. They too take the place for granted.
@@anngore3842 So true. I live in Connecticut and I'm in the area in which this country was founded and I don't visit the historical places myself since elementry school field trips .... lol. Happy 2021!
It is a very beautiful place, went there for a work Christmas Staff party on the beach in December 2017. I captured some of the most beautiful pictures ever, planning to paint a picture based off of one of the shots soon. I loved everything, though the water kept giving me shocks of different temperatures, so I could not fully enjoy swimming there, but overall I had fun with my peers and the food was delicious. Would probably go back another time, but in the summer months lol
Portland is the most BEAUTIFUL parish in Jamaica. Erald flynn once said about Long Bay a community in Portland, "if there's a Garden of Eden this is it."
@Queen Shamera@ Have You Check Out The Garden Of Eden Right There On The COAST OF MOBAY...??? WoW,,,Happy New 2021 I Wish You And Your Husband Much Success For The 2021 Year...!!!
@@WinstonGelTV9574 I have not heard of or know of such in Mobay. Thank you. We affirm the same for you and your family.
@@TheEchoingPen #LoL...Okay #Queen,,,But I Think That #ST.#James Is A Far More Interesting Parish...I Am Sure Of That,,, There Are Place INA #ST.#JAMES You Didn't Know DAT Existed...There Are Many #CAVES INA #ST.#JAMES...Many Under Ground Water Systems...HAVE You Ever Heard Of A Place Called #BIG #BOTTOM Under Groud CAVE AND RIVER,,,#SEVEN #RIVERS...#BLUE #HOLE ...OLD ORIGINAL WATER WHEEL..#ST.#JAMES SUPPLY WATER TO Other #PARISH...ANYWAY #QUEEN,,,I AM COMPENSATING FOR NOT HAVING A PORTLAND ISLAND...!!!
@@WinstonGelTV9574 All of Jamaica is interesting... This little island is a GEM.
@@TheEchoingPen #WELL SAID #QUEEN...!!!
A valid point about the cost of keeping the beach clean. To charge or not to charge. One of the biggest complaints from jamaicans is hotels buying up large areas of beach and denying access unless you are guests at the resort. Wishing you and your family safe prosperous New year.
The other thing I don’t understand is the archaic normal of charging double occupancy rates and getting away with it. It does not seem to stop tourist.
@@samantha1054 that has been always, just check on a ship voyage, , that is how they ALWAYS operate, just like HIGH SEASON usually is DEC15TH , I also suffer the same now my wife passed on.
🇬🇧🇯🇲🇺🇸
Much blessings to u n ur family for the New Year. Goodbye! 2020 - Hello 2021💯🙏🇯🇲🇬🇧🇺🇸💯💥🏝🇺🇦🍾🍾🎼
Thank you so much, Ruby, for supporting this channel from the very start! Happy New Year! 💚
As a “new resident” of Jamaica, you have educated me (a born Jamaican) far more, about the history of many over-looked aspects of our beautiful country, than my history teachers in high school. Thank you for your thorough research and excellent delivery. Yu really Irie! One Luv
well done irie 🙏
I heard of Frenchman cove, never been their myself and through the video i can see it is worth is hype.
I will be honest, i hate dirty beaches especially after a hurricane and u see the seaweed in bulk ashore its also one of the main reasons i hate free beaches because they are hardly maintained. So I'm more of a pool person since that is maintained like for instance Rockfort Mineral spa.
I first started going to Frenchman’s Cove in 1973, I have been there 4 times and I call it my piece of heaven, it is without a doubt my favorite place in the world or at least it used to be. I haven’t been there in a very long time since before they went public. They used to have a world famous French chef and when you stayed, it was all inclusive. When you rented a house, it came with a butler and a maid. The people who ran the place were wonderful and everyone went out of their way to make sure that your stay was fantastic.
Thank you. this was so informative, especially the part about why the entrance fee is charged.
Irie ina Di Place 👈🏿bigup yrself sis🖐🏿 an have Happy New year🙏🏿🙏🏿.love yr vlogs Dem, dem R outstanding 👌🏿
Love you irie from a Jamaican abroad. Please don’t leave Jamaica. The country need you
Thanks for showing me my beautiful country 🥰
Have a blessed New Year! I hope you will get your Permanent Residence for the new year...one love...
🇯🇲 Is my favorite place, and I had promised myself to see Portland side when I make it there again ...and Boom, you publish this video. I really appreciate your videos and the history lessons as well. Happy 2021!!
If you plan to stay in Portland...they do have nice hotels, river rafting, waterfalls, surfing, fishing, hiking the Blue Mountains .... fly into Kingston and not Montego Bay
It is beautiful, a rare gem 💎
This cove reminds me of the Jamaican novel, Sprat Morrison by Jean D'costa
Wealth of information!!!
this place is a part of me, mother work there for many years, thank u again 1 love from uk
Thank you for this information. I was unaware that this beach is now open to the public.
Has been for over 30 years.
Great video 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Ahhh...beautiful Frenchman's Cove!!! Love it!!! I'm completely jealous. Enjoy...Enjoy...Enjoy!!!
Almost everyone I know prefers Frenchman's Cove. I like it but it is not my preferred Portie beach. I prefer San San because most of the time I have all that beach to myself. It is quiet and peaceful and on my last visit, I arrived at about 10 am and I was alone for about 3 hours until another person came, she sat quietly and read a book. In the 4 hours I enjoyed that beach, the maximum number of people on that beach was 2 and San San is not a small beach.
I also love going for walks up and down the beach, finding little nooks and crannies created by the waves and over hanging bushes. I love washed up smooth wood, smooth pretty stones and shells. There is no limit to what you can find and I love to take interesting things back home with me to litter the yard.
With Frenchman's Cove even without the blasted tour buses fulling up the place with tourist that beach can get crowded and I do not like to share my space (yes I am miserable). When it comes to Beauty, Frenchman's Cove is second to none. As a child we roamed from Dragons Bay to Frenchman's Cove like pirates. Moving from location to location, laughing and chatting. From Goblin Hill to Dragons Bay, Blue Lagoon, San San and then Frenchman's Cove.
Last week I was watching the movie "Knight & Day" with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The beach scene was filmed at Frenchman's Cove, boat scene at Norse Point and San San Beach.
Thank you for such an interesting story! Yes, I really love San San as well, there will be a video about it :) I've also managed to do some footage for Dragon Bay... , but I'm hoping to get there again with a permission from Sandals (it belongs to them, unless they sold it). It was kinda abandoned last time I was there. San San yes.. and the little island across is gorgeous.
However, I still think Frenchman's cove is the winner due to the river and the lush gardens, it's just stunning. And yes, there have been quite a few films shot at Frenchman's Cove. I'll be making a video about Hollywood and Jamaica filming locations :)
Stunning!!!!
Sweet beautiful lovely lady thank you for sharing your videos with us love take care be safe bless up
Yes, frenchman's cove is pretty. I don't mind the drive from St Mary once in awhile because there's lots of little places to stop along the way, so I'm usually full by the time I reach! I also understand why they charge money and Im glad you explain this. There was reggae beach( then called bamboo beach) but now closed . It was nicely maintained when named reggae beach and I loved it. Then it was leased to someone calling it bamboo beach and it got too commercialized. Now it is closed and not maintained at all. I hope someone buys it soon as it's near to where I stay.
Hm, interesting, I know there is one place called Bamboo Beach Club in Trelawny, but didn't know about Reggae Beach being renamed and closed. Hmmmm! When did they close it down?
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE bamboo beach in St ann st mary line. Formerly it was reggae beach. It closed about a year now. It's right after white river on the main. It's pretty there too. Wish I had the money....
@@waitaminute2015 Thank you!
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE sure, no problem.
Yes, Irie. This a good one. Really good one
Irina, this one is a must share video! Great guide for Airbnb guests staying more than a week. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for this informative video. I am a Jamaican living in the UK. I have travelled to Ukraine many times over the last 15 years. I have never been to Frenchman's Cove, but took my Ukrainian friend for her first visit to Jamaica, in March of last year. We visited Portland, Blue Lagoon etc. She absolutely adored Jamaica. I shall show her this video tomorrow and I know she will be rearing to visit at the earliest possible opportunity.
I cant wait to visit here....my next trip for sure......so beautiful.
I have done the canoe tour on the Blue lagoon and that was heavenly
Love it love it love it! Jamaica it’s almost heaven in earth🥰 Need to go there and feel the culture, the nature and the people😍 Jah blessings from Spain🙏🏻😊
I can hardly find words to adequately describe the beauty of Jamaica.Thanks for sharing this gem.
My favourite place to be 💜
I went there on a trip once, it was lovely. The scenes and the experience were unforgettable.
I really hope I get the opportunity to be there alone in a few weeks as well! It’s stunning.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged for the Lord your. God will be with you wherever you go 🙏 JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE ETERNAL 🙏.../
Beautiful and i live in Henderson Nevada..i have a
Beautiful beach...Frenchman’s Cove is definitely on my bucket list. 🤗
Irina I hope you, your husband and kids have a wonderful and safe 2021. Thanks for this video and the information you just gave, I know nothing about Portland aside from it's a Parish in Jamaica.
Personally speaking l do not think all beaches should be free and you showed a good example why. The Jamaican Government is not good at upkeeping anything, hence the difference between frenchman's Cove and the free beach.
You mentioned total free beaches in Barbados, a single Jamaican parish is almost twice the size of Barbados. Jamaica has about 634 Miles of coastline, Barbados coastline is only 62 Miles so it made sense for them to make their beaches totally public.
Love the History, which is why your videos rule... the background
Ирина, Вы такая молодец. Мы с семьёй живём в Порт Антонио и всегда с удовольствием смотрим Ваши видео. И хотя я здесь уже 13 лет, всегда узнаю что-нибудь новое. Вы и правда представляете Ямайку лучше чем JTB.
С новым годом!
Класс, спасибо! Мы с Вами не знакомы, но я скоро опять буду в Портленде, может встретимся? С Новым Годом!
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE С удовольствием.
We love Portland Parish!
You are the best ......i am learning so much i didnt know about jamaica.....wow
Sad to say that I lived in Jamaica for 16 years before moving to the United States and I only visited Frenchman's Cove once. The place is absolutely amazing. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Big Up!👊🏿💪🏿♥️

Thanks for this. Portland was beautiful when I visited. It was just hard to get to from Kingston.
Frenchman's cove looks beautiful. Nice video.

Loved it! Your videos are well done and so informative. I appreciate it so much. Happy New Year to you and your family! 🙏🏽🌴😊
Big up yourself, very very nice and interesting video.
Awesome job very informative
I can’t thank you enough for posting this video about Frenchmens Cove and Port Antonio. 16 years ago when my Jamaican husband took me on our honeymoon to Jamaica, we stayed in Port Antonio, just up the road from Frenchmens Cove at a nostalgic hotel called Goblin Hill. He made it a point to show me Frenchmens Cove and it was and still is a Sou stunning! I hadn’t seen such a beautiful beach in my life! Whats more, the people, the people of Port Antonio were so incredibly nice, friendly, and welcoming! I remember thinking “ why don’t people know about this hidden gem! We have to spread the word!”, but its like you said, its hours away from Mobay, so the world may not get to know it, but I sure love hanging at that beach with the locals! They shared stories about those rich & famous people who used to frequent Frenchmens Cove back in the day, like Eryl Flynn, and they showed us Dragon Bay, it was and still is magical! Thank you Irina!!!
Lovely video
Hey! Happy New Year. Wishing you all a blessed, happy and healthy 2021 🇯🇲🇬🇧
My very home town port Antonio, i work at Frenchman's cove as a life guard for some years, please do more video's of Portland , love your work 😍😍😍

@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE THANK YOU IRINA...!!!
Another good video. Looking forward to the video on free beaches in Jamaica and the comparison to other caribbean countries.
Another informative video again iris. Learn something again about my birth place. I am sure they do not teach these things in school there. Iris I love that instrumental music you play at the end of your videos. Sound like something from back in the days.
Happy New Year to you and your family, Irina! I really enjoyed this video, especially the parts about the beach's history and how it is currently run. These well researched details are what make your videos unique and so enjoyable. Thank you!🙏🏼
I have been trying to keep this place a secret, and look at you! 🤩💕
That's right Irina teach them let them understand clearly ... 👍😊👌🔥🔥
Bless up Irene
Oh! You're here!) Thank you, that you didn't leave make videos. Even if they're on English language.
Love this and that Irena is giving us some Russian/Ukrainian/Polish lessons! Sorry, can't tell which one but I think it might be Ukrainian 😊
it was actually Russian :))) my husband and I are Russian speaking Ukrainians, but we are both fluent in Ukrainian as well. Thank you, glad you like the videos! Happy New Year!
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE always go with your gut instinct! Russian was my first thought.:-)
Thank you so much for highlighting this beautiful place in Portland,definately a beautiful parish,very informative video as well.
