The story

Clarendon Seafood Festival in Rocky Point

Rocky Point, a major Clarendon fishing village, hosts a seafood festival most consistently documented as the White Sand Beach Seafood Festival in late December, though other sources reference a differently timed Clarendon Seafood Festival inland in Woodleigh, leaving the exact name and schedule of the Rocky Point event only partly confirmed.

Rocky Point, a fishing village on Clarendon's south coast facing the Caribbean Sea, hosts at least one seafood festival tied to its identity as one of the parish's largest fishing communities, though published sources disagree on its exact name, date and organizer.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The clearest distinguishing detail is geographic: Rocky Point's version is staged directly on its own White Sand Beach, a working fishing beach rather than an inland venue, tying the event to boats that land catch there daily

02

The mystery stays covered

Beyond that, available sources do not consistently confirm a single organizing body or fixed date, so specific claims about attendance, sponsors or a definitive event name are not made here
