Jackson Bay Beach is located in the parish of Clarendon, to the south of Portland Cottage and the southwest of Rocky Point. The beach stretches for over 350 metres (1,500 feet) with a width of approximately 12 metres (40 feet). The usable area of the beach is an approximate 5,600 square metres or 1.4 acres.
The beach is somewhat isolated as there are no surrounding developments close by. The natural sediment consists of light brown medium size sand which is quite pleasant underfoot. The beach slopes gently.
