Font Hill Beach is located in Saint Elizabeth, on the south coast of Jamaica, between Black River and Whitehouse. It is within a nature reserve on the Font Hill property owned by the Petroleum Company of Jamaica. It is an attractive well kept beach with clean golden sand and safe swimming in a roped off area. Beyond the rope there is a shallow reef.

Font Hill Beach is sometimes very popular at weekends and holidays, but usually very quiet during weekdays.
