The eminent decay of Winnifreds Beach

Winnifred Public Beach


The neglect by the leadership of Free Winnifred Beach Benevolent Society to push for the swift implementation of the court order issued in September of 2014 now put the (UDC) Urban Development Corporation in breach of  Resident Magistrate Marjorie Moyston order, that order said,



"UDC has 90 days to create on a new title an easement for the right of the public to access the beach for bathing and recreation purposes." 



With this ruling in hand since September of 2014 very little has been done by the Free Winnifred Beach Benevolent Society to effort the implementation of the Judges orders. The UDC is now in breach of Resident Magistrate Marjorie Moyston orders. Winnifred Beach fought for over 15 years is now in the hands of a few who valiantly fought with the support of the Fairy Hill and surrounding communities.








The struggle of the people of winnifred beach was supported by people all over the world including Sweden, Italy, Germany who have visited Jamaica over and over again to enjoy winnifred beach. It would be an outrage and disappointment to find that top members of Free winnifred Beach Benevolent Society with an hard fought for Legal ruling has bended to Political pressure and pressure from the UDC shelving Justice Marjorie Moyston ruling.

In Decay Blue Lagoon Bar and Restaurant
Once the hub of  Portland's Tourist attraction and pride of the community "The Blue Lagoon Jamaica" is now in disrepair and a state of decay.  The Blue Lagoon was purchased by Portland Holdings in 2009 with a promise that it would be restored to its former glory after it suffered damage in an Hurricane and was never restored. Since its purchase six years ago the new owners have for reasons not of the interest of the Portland community have kept the property closed. The vendors that were located there and the people who worked at the Blue Lagoon the once #8 wonder of the world continues its downward spiral and now in decay.

Once a 4 Star Bar and Restaurant


 The Blue Lagoon property is owned by Michael Lee-Chin founder and Chairman of Portland Holdings Inc., a privately held investment company which owns a collection of diversified operating companies in sectors that include media, tourism, health care telecommunications and financial services. Mr Lee -Chin also own the Trident Villas and Hotel and one of the palacious beach front properties on the Blue Lagoon yet the public facilities that for more than 50 years serve and attract visitors is left in ruins.

Homes and Villas along the Blue Lagoon


 The buildings that once house the Blue Lagoon public facilities a Bar, Restaurant, gift shops, scuba diving training facility a floating barge where you enjoy "Blue Lagoon the cocktail", ingredients - 1 part Blue Curacao, 1 part Vodka, 4 parts Lemon juice with some of the best Jamaican cuisine that is all gone, taken by those with power and means, the buildings left to rot in front of our eyes.


The Blue Lagoon is one of many attractive beach getaways like San San beach, winnifred Beach and water falls. Reach falls Jamaica one of Portland's premier falls with it natural pools with slithering rocks and Somerset Falls west of Port Antonio with its caves and thunderous falls. With all its difficulties Portland remain one of the great vacation spots in the world with many places to stay in Jamaica.  



The decaying Blue Lagoon  Public Facilities is an enormous loss to tourist and tourism in Jamaica however the natural beauty of Portland especially San San area where the Blue Lagoon is Located continues to attract local and foreign guests. 



The loss of jobs and potential jobs as a result of  the continued closure of the Blue Lagoon in Jamaica is devastating the Portland community that has adapted and transformed itself over and over again to make ends meet.
