Harrismith Beach (sometimes written as Harry Smith’s beach) is located between Sam Lord’s Castle and Bottom Bay on the south east coast of the island, in the parish of St. Philip. The name Harrismith originates from a namesake town in South Africa founded in 1849 and named after British Governor Sir Harry Smith.
Imagine the scene – the dilapidated remains of an old, imposing mansion stand on a dramatic cliff top, overlooking a fierce sea. The warm sun’s rays fading on the horizon, cool evening breezes whispering in the trees. No, this is not the setting of a Daphne du Maurier or Charles Dickens novel, but the backdrop for Harrismith Beach.It is really picturesque!
