About Green Island

Green Island is a quiet fishing and farming community on Hanover’s north coast, just 15km east of Negril on the coastal highway. What makes it remarkable is its extraordinary natural setting: Half Moon Bay — a pristine crescent of white sand and turquoise water just east of the village — is consistently rated among the most beautiful beaches in Jamaica and arguably the Caribbean. Unlike the busy resort beaches of Negril, Half Moon Bay is tranquil, undeveloped, and almost entirely preserved in its natural state. The village itself has a handful of roadside bars and jerk spots, and is well-known for the Cove Fishing Village where local fishermen bring in fresh catch daily. This is real, unfiltered Jamaica — and for those willing to seek it out, absolutely breathtaking.
