  • 8. Hellshire Beach Portmore
    Hellshire Beach, Jamaica, is located near Portmore, and famed for its fried fish and safe swimming. It has near white sands with a very small trace of black sand. Exposed when there is a sea running to the south, the waters close to shore are often quite cloudy due to the stirred up sand.It is a popular public beach conveniently located for the residents of Portmore and weekend visitors from Kingston.Once called Healthshire due to its reputation as a health retreat its name has since evolved into Hellshire though both pronunciations are technically correct. In the early nineteenth century, colonial records describe hundreds of runaway slaves escaping to Healthshire where they flourished for several years before they were captured by a party of Jamaican Maroons.
