So, a day or so later, when we were somewhat bronzer, Brunsli and I decided to walk the other way down the beach for a little exercise. So we took off to the north, this time our walk took us past a uninhabited section on the beach, closer to the road where there were no hotels. Part of this section actually had no beach at all, but once we got past the section we arrived at a beautiful, secluded section of beach with a nice large section of shallow ocean, so we decided to take a swim!
Oh yes, I forgot! We also happened upon a naked black man, laying out on a beach chair in the sun. :-0 Sorry, no pictures! We actually just tried to walk by quickly, eyes forward.....
Anyway, after our swim, we continued on, walking up the beach. At this point, we hit the all-inclusive part of the beach. Sandals, Beaches etc... Everytime, we crossed over the property line onto another resort, a nosey security guard came out and asked us where we were staying....
"Excuse me! Where are you staying?!? Are you staying at this resort?!?"
Now, there is no law against walking on the beach and I am pretty sure that we do not, by any stretch of the imagination, look like Jamaican hustlers or prostitutes..... After being asked this for about the 3rd time, we started to get a little attitude! We are just walking on the beach! Trying to enjoy our walk in the sun! Interestingly, when we replied with attitude, the whole demeanor of the guards changed. "Oh, no, there is no problem! Okay, enjoy your afternoon"
Sigh........
At the end of the beach, after four miles or so, was the infamous Hedonism, called "the Zoo" by Jamaicans ...... We, the only clothed people in the place (besides the folks who worked there) walked through, again trying not to let our eyes linger anywhere...... Talk about a let down! A whole bunch of older, pudgy and sagging pink (and sometimes red) white people! Nothing interesting to see.....
We crossed through the gate at the end, and there were these people standing there....
They introduced themselves, offered us a seat in the shade, and proceeded to offer us something to smoke (which we don't do, of course), some drinks - beer, champagne, water- and sheparded us around the ocean on a floating tube/raft!
Jamaica is magic!
If this is how you get rewarded for exercising, I would probably do it more often.

Somehow I think our champagne was smuggled out of Hedo!
Unfortunately, nude beaches aren't what novices would expect! I remember the one (and only) time I went to Fire Island and saw all kinds of "unusually proportioned" (this was actually on a sign at the entrance to a ride in Kings Dominion!) folks letting it all hang out! Kind of a let down. Glad you had a great time!
okay, i've tried to avoid reading your and brunsli's jamaica tales, but now i am officially jealous! i want to go "back to di yawd" so baaad!
it is truly sad that there is basically an ownership of parts of a beach?!?! i looove the beach and when i was living in JA, i would have to either go to the smaller free beach (Bluefields)in the little town i stayed in OR when i went to Negril or Mobay, me and my comrades would have to pay to get in te public beach! it wasn't until my friend came to town that i even experienced the "nicer" sections of the beach.
as for getting hit on, i've told my friends that if you ever need a self-esteem booster, JA is the best place to go. Even if it's just superficial...it can definitely blow up one's head.
ahhh, Hedo...a place i've had memories of the good (few), the bad (more) and the ugly (most). 1. good food 2.seeing people have intercourse blatently (and when i say "people" it was more like old, wrinkly, fat white guys and very young looking JA girls...or vice versa) 3. you already know
i am glad that you had a good time. i can tell that the exercise is going well... i see your abs while you working that bikini!
