Font Hill Beach Park Attractions: Birdwatching and More in St. Elizabeth

Font Hill Beach Park is located on Jamaica’s South Coast. Visitors to the parish of St. Elizabeth will find villas in this area that cater to their needs for privacy and relaxation. This area is more easygoing than some of the more popular destinations, such as Montego Bay.

The beach park is located near to the border of the parishes of Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth. St. Elizabeth in Jamaica is known for tourist attractions such as Jake’s in Treasure Beach and the Y.S. Falls in Black River. Jamaicans from all over the island and overseas, as well as visitors from other countries, travel to this parish to enjoy the seven falls.

Font Hill Beach Park is a great place to get away and enjoy the beauty of nature. Since the resort is further away from city areas, you can relax and listen to the sounds made by the various birds that frequent the area. These birds include doves, jacanas and black-billed whistling ducks.

There is a wildlife sanctuary in Font Hill and a coastal mangrove is a part of this. You may see birds in the water or observe them in the pimento trees that are grown in this part of the island. Some nest in the trees and also feed on ripe pimento berries.

You may also see birds feeding on the sea grapes that grow along Font Hill Beach. Busy Jamaicans who take a weekend off to relax enjoy picnicking on the beach, snorkeling, trekking along a nature trail, horseback riding and other sports, such as football.

There are activities to suit adults and children, whether you want to burn some calories or just sit back and enjoy some good food. If you are interested in learning the latest dance moves, you can also do so at Font Hill Beach Park in St. Elizabeth.
