Crane Road Beach is located in the parish of St. Elizabeth. It is a gently sloping, fairly undeveloped beach. This site lies off the Crane Road main road in the town of Black River, St. Elizabeth.
The beach consists of shrubs, bushes and scattered trees. Mangroves are present at closest proximity to the Black River. The width of the beach is approximately 6 metres (20 feet) fine grain dark grey sand. Due to its proximity to the river, silt deposition contributes to the turbidity (cloudiness) of the water.
