About this spot
Kiteforum's Bounty Bay record is titled Flamingo Beach (Chill Out Hut). It identifies the launch in front of the beach bar near Greenwood on the A1 east of Montego Bay, with a sandy bottom, a large standing-depth area and shallow flat water. This is one beach under two guide names, not two separate spots.
The guide explicitly lists beginner, intermediate and expert levels alongside a school, rental and rescue services. It describes lighter mornings and 15–25-knot afternoon side-onshore NE trades. Listed best directions are N, NNE, NE and ENE, with the trade season starting in late November and lasting into June or mid-July.
Reefs are a listed hazard, and the outer water can have small to medium waves. Arrange current lessons and rescue support before travel, and ask where the sandy teaching area ends. Older guide entries are not proof that every listed service still operates or that no local launch rules apply.

Coordinates are the guide's pin, not a surveyed launch. Confirm current school operation, fees, launch rules and rescue cover locally. The 12 kt minimum and adjacent caution sectors are conservative guide settings, not local operator guarantees. Monthly water values are approximate north-coast seasonal estimates, not live readings; https://www.xtremespots.com/board-sports/kiteboarding-kitesurfing/bounty-bay-jamaica/ reports warm water around 28 °C.
