The southern coast of Jamaica is very different from the north coast. It is more restful and relaxed because it is in its more natural state which makes it awesome to discover.

Though under developed it is a treasure and beauty. Here you can see indigenous animals such as the butterflies and crocodiles integrated with the natural resources, rivers , vegetation, and the rhythm waves of the sea as they crash on the white and grey sandy beaches.

The south coast provides most of the salt water fish consumed on the island. The :”Pedro Keys” is where south coast fishermen spend most of their time. Travelocity Jamaica

Visit Little Ochi to choose your fish and watch it prepared or simple relax with and icy cold beer and let the water caress your feet while you wait.
