Longboarder

Top choice in Kingston, Blue Mountains & the Southeast Coast


A super-relaxed beach bar, restaurant and surf spot, the Longboarder has a small bar area and a series of tables spread out under a wide tree, plus vistas down to the rolling surf on the beach below. It has great fish, lobster, jerk, burgers and salads, and if you don't mind driving in the dark, some seriously spectacular sunsets over the sea.

Check the bar's Facebook page for regular music and DJ events. Longboarder also rents surfboards for US$25 per day and offers lessons for J$3000 a day.
