James Bond Beach sits on a small peninsula at Oracabessa Bay, approximately 10 miles or 16 kilometres from the Jamaican north coast town of Ocho Rios.

[2] The beach is noted for its water sports centre, its "crystal clear" water, and its mountains that reach "straight down to the sea."

The area has also served as a concert venue for Rihanna, Ziggy Marley, and Lauryn Hill.

[2] Its Moonraker bar is spread across two storeys, is open on all sides, and occasionally hosts jazz, blues, soca, and reggae concerts.

[2] The seaside location only took up its James Bond Beach name following a suggestion by Kingston-based journalist Neil-Monticelli Harley-Rüdd to the Jamaican Tourist Board.
