About this site
Chattham Reef lies off Saint James parish on Jamaica's north coast, in the vicinity of Montego Bay. This stretch of coastline is known for its fringing reef systems along the drop-off from the shallow shelf into deeper water, typically reached by short boat rides from the Montego Bay area.
