Harmony Beach Park beach area now reopen

The public will once again be able to enjoy the beachfront at Harmony Beach Park in St James after it temporary closure, according to The Urban Development Corporation (UDC).

"We are grateful for the patience and understanding of the public during the period of closure," said General Manager of the UDC, Robert Honeyghan. "Harmony Beach Park is a signature space in Montego Bay, and we're proud to restore full access to the beach for residents and visitors."

The UDC says, with the beachfront now reopened, guests can once again enjoy the full range of amenities the park offers, including free public Wi-Fi, jogging trails, and expansive green spaces designed for comfort, recreation, and community.

"We see this park as an investment in people, a place that promotes wellness, fosters connection, and reminds us of the beauty that's possible when we build with purpose," said Honeyghan.

The UDC closed the beachfront in early April to address a water quality issue.

At the time it explained that during a safety assessment, it identified an external issue affecting water quality in the beach area.
