The Parish of Trelawny is home to the oldest Hell Fire Club, founded in 1770, and also offers some of the best beaches in Jamaica. The white sand beaches around South Trelawny attract many vacationers from all over the island. In fact, the coastal area south of South Hill is one of Jamaica’s most popular beaches. There are plenty of activities for locals and visitors alike: scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing; sea kayaking; sailing; wind surfing; chair-lift riding (on a cable car) sunset cruise along the kilometer long natural swimming pool known as "Jamaica's longest beach" or just relaxed beachside picnicking or swimming with a view beside a cool Caribbean breeze.
