On public holidays, the Jacob Taylor Beach at Silver Sands gets busy, especially early in the morning. Many Jamaicans equate public holidays with a trip to the beach, where they play games, splash about in the sea, and picnic. There is a barbecue where one can roast fish.

 

The fishermen and craft vendors are friendly. We never hear visitors complain of harassment, even if they are not buying anything. In fact, many visitors will vouch for the friendliness of these people who make their living on the Fisherman's Beach.
