| Jamaica Beach City Park |
|
| Trying to figure out when and where you're going
to host that special event and if you even have the time and space to do it?
Check out the city park; it's available for rentals. |
|
| The Jamaica Beach City Park is located at Bob Smith Drive
and Jolly Roger Road. In July 1989, volunteers from the community joined together
and established the park. The park has a playground with swings, a basketball court,
a picnic area, and a pavilion with a kitchen. The pavilion is a weather-resistant
facility that is available for use virtually year round. |
|
| Application can be made at City Hall for exclusive use of
the pavilion with kitchen facilities. It's perfect for hosting birthday parties for
the young and not-so-young, family reunions, wedding receptions, club gatherings, ...
you name it! The rates, which are quite reasonable, are based on the number of folks
who will be attending your event. (Jamaica Beach residents and property owners receive a
discount.) Revenues generated from renting the park are used for its upkeep, so you're
reinvesting in the Jamaica Beach City Park when you rent it. Check into it today! (Certain
restrictions apply to gatherings in excess of 100 people. Phone City Hall at 409-737-1142
for more info or see the park rental rules and application on our
Online Services page.) |
|
| The park is also the site of many community
fundraisers throughout the year! |

| Regatta Basin Public Boat Ramp |
|
| Located on Basin Drive near Jolly Roger Road, the boat ramp provides
access to the canals of Jamaica Beach, which lead to West Bay. Public parking is available
on a limited basis. Please be sure to check the posted signs for parking restrictions! |

| Beach, Canal & Bay Information |
|
| THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE BEACH IS 10 MILES PER HOUR. Beginning the second
Saturday of March, through the Tuesday after Labor Day, designated areas of the beach are closed
to vehicular traffic - from 12:01 A.M. each Saturday until 6:00 P.M. each Sunday and on all legal
holidays. |
|
| The public beach is the area of sand from the vegetation line to the water's
edge. Please respect areas north of the vegetation line as this is private property, and the dunes
are in a constant state of replenishment |
|
| This is a free, public beach. There are no lifeguards on duty, so children should
be supervised at all times. City ordinances prohibit glass containers and open fires on the beach. |
|
 |
BEWARE OF SNAKES IN THE DUNES! |
|
| All canals are NO WAKE areas. Wakes cause damage to bulkheads. The canals are
public thoroughfares and are patrolled by the Jamaica Beach Police Department's Marine Division. Swimming,
fishing, and boating are enjoyed by many. Please respect the presence of others on and in the canals.
Slow down and go around! |
