Gut River

Gut River

Gut River is a mostly underground river in Manchester Parish, Jamaica, which springs forth in a deep clear pool barely 200m from the sea. The natural fresh water bathing/diving pool can be accessed from the road and there is wading access along the river to the beach in the middle of Long Bay, Manchester, a mostly deserted 20 mile strip of black sand.

On one bank of the river there is a commercial beach property (access 100J$ in 2006) with bar facilities, which can be busy at holidays, but is usually very quiet and provides access to both the beach and the mouth of the river without wading. On the other bank is a private property.

The name Gut River is said by the locals to derive from the German word for "good".

Location

Gut River lies about 5 miles east of Alligator Pond and 10 miles west of Alligator Hole River which is near Milk River Bath. A very quiet coastal road joins these three rather isolated spots. Many years ago the road used only to be passable with 4WD vehicles, but in 2006 the surface was in good order for ordinary cars.
