If there is a landscape that characterizes the James Bond films, it is the beaches, which appear in many of their installments and that is why they become world famous if they were not already. Today I'm going to write one called James Bond Beach but that curiously has never appeared in any of his films, although it is undoubtedly a nice tribute.
The James Bond Beach It's in Jamaica, specifically the parish of Santa María, on the north coast of the country. It is a really beautiful beach and worthy of being called paradise, and it is not far from other interesting destinations such as Ocho Ríos, which is only 20 minutes away by car. The town where the beach is located is called Oracabessa and in it you can find a lot of tranquility and a perfect place to spend a day, or more, of rest.
This beach is also very quiet as it is not one of the most popular, but it is certainly worth visiting, especially as long as not everyone discovers it and is filled with people at all hours. Nor are many people going because it is not in sight, so to get to it you will have to ask, so many people prefer to stay in the most popular ones. Further, We have to pay to be able to access it, although the change comes out to you in about 4 euros (350 Jamaican dollars). All the money is invested in the maintenance and cleaning of the entire beach.
Its name is because Ian Fleming, the author of the 007 novels, wrote some of them on this beach, so it is a well-deserved tribute. In fact, on the beach there is a small space called Golden Eye, like one of the films and that is the exact place where Fleming sat down to write to get inspiration from such a beautiful landscape. In addition, there is a bar called MoonRaker and also a restaurant and even showers, so it is a beach where you will find everything you need to spend a good day in the sun.
