SINCE 1956 THE UK HAS OWNED ALL THE BEACHES IN JAMAICA

The Beach Control Act of 1956 in Jamaica regulates the use of the foreshore and the sea around the island, establishing that no person has inherent rights to access these areas unless granted by the Act. It was created during Jamaica's colonial period and has been amended but still reflects the interests of property owners over public access rights.

Current Issues
The Act has faced criticism for being outdated and discriminatory. Local campaigners argue that it restricts public access to beaches, particularly in areas developed for tourism. The Jamaica Beach Birthright Environmental Movement (JaBBEM) is actively challenging the Act in court to secure better access rights for Jamaicans.

Conclusion
The Beach Control Act remains a significant legal framework in Jamaica, but its colonial roots and restrictive provisions have led to ongoing legal challenges and calls for reform to ensure public access to beaches for all Jamaicans.
