Frenchman's Cove

18° 10.5′ N · 76° 24.3′ W · approximate

A tiny white-sand cove where a river meets the sea, framed by jungle on both headlands; Wikipedia lists it as a filming location for Lord of the Flies, Cocktail and Knight and Day.

Practical

Coordinate approximate (east of Port Antonio at San San, just west of the Blue Lagoon; the resort's own address is San San, Port Antonio). The cove belongs to Frenchman's Cove resort, a 48-acre property with villas and a Great House, so expect an entry fee or resort access - ask at the gate. Easiest reached by road from Port Antonio, or by dinghy from the San San anchorage in calm weather.
