Orange Bay in Hanover Parish is a serene natural haven just east of Negril, characterized by its protected waters and lush mangrove-lined shores. The bay's calm, shallow conditions make it perfect for kayaking through narrow channels where herons and egrets hunt among the roots. Visitors can paddle out to small islets or simply float in the tranquil sea, surrounded by green hills. The area remains largely undeveloped, offering a true escape into Jamaica's coastal ecosystem. Local guides sometimes lead eco-tours highlighting the mangroves' role in supporting marine life.
