Discover the hidden gem of Rio Bueno, a quaint and tranquil town adorned with a stretch of golden sand known as Bengal Beach. Tucked away on the Eastern side of the bay, this sleepy locale is a haven for holiday makers seeking a more secluded retreat on Jamaica’s north coast. Bengal Bay is graced by a series of holiday villa rentals, and Sleepy Shallows stands proudly as a beachfront oasis among them.

Rio Bueno holds the charming secret of where its river meets the Caribbean Sea. The mingling of fresh river waters with the vast expanse of the sea creates a picturesque scene that has remained a well-kept secret for years. Removed from the hustle and bustle of more tourist-frequented areas, Bengal Bay sits snugly between Trelawny and Discovery Bay, offering a peaceful haven for families and friends craving serene seascapes, breathtaking sunsets, and the luxury of having the sandy shore right at their doorstep.

Bengal Beach, approximately 500 metres long, is a natural harbour characterised by its fine white sands and cobblestones. The Rio Bueno gracefully empties along the western stretch of the beach, surrounded by backshore vegetation featuring white mangroves, black mangroves, red mangroves, coastal grasses, and West Indian almond trees. While the area is in its natural state, providing an unspoiled and authentic experience, parking is readily available,  however, the lack of existing infrastructure means there are no food services on the beach, emphasising the untouched beauty of the surroundings.

For those seeking activities beyond the pristine beach, Bengal Bay offers the opportunity for swimming and leisurely strolls. Additionally, nearby attractions like the Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory and River Rapids Jamaica provide exciting excursions for beachgoers looking to explore more of the region’s natural wonders.

Nestled at the border of St. Ann and Trelawny, Rio Bueno boasts a charming seaside village ambience. The Rio Bueno River, winding alongside the village, presents a unique opportunity for river rafting and tubing. As it meanders through lush green plantations and tropical rainforests, the river culminates in the Rio Bueno Harbor, the deepest harbour on the island. Embrace the allure of Rio Bueno, where Sleepy Shallows invites you to experience the beauty of an untouched paradise.
