How do I access Bamboo Blu Beach and what does it cost?

Bamboo Blu Beach operates as a beach club in Mammee Bay, located about 10 minutes east of central Ocho Rios along the A3 coastal road. Access requires purchasing a day pass, with prices varying seasonally and by package (typically including beach access, chairs, and sometimes food/beverage credits). Transportation options include taxi from Ocho Rios hotels (15-20 minutes), resort shuttles, or rental car with on-site parking. Many all-inclusive resorts in the area are nearby. Day passes can often be pre-booked online or purchased at the entrance. Contact the beach club directly for current pricing and package options, as rates change seasonally.

Menu offerings typically range from light beach snacks and salads to heartier Jamaican specialties and grilled items. The bar serves both alcoholic and non-alcoholic tropical drinks.

What makes Bamboo Blu Beach unique compared to other Mammee Bay beaches?

Bamboo Blu Beach stands out as an accessible, public-facing beach club option in Mammee Bay, an area otherwise dominated by all-inclusive resorts with private beaches.
