How do I meet people in Runaway Bay?

When we asked people living in Runaway Bay about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Expats in Runaway Bay, often join local sports clubs, such as golf or tennis clubs, to meet new people and engage in recreational activities. They may also participate in community events or festivals, which are common in Jamaica and provide a great opportunity to interact with locals and other expats. Joining a local gym or fitness center is another popular activity among expats, as it allows them to stay fit while also socializing with others. Some expats may also choose to volunteer at local charities or non-profit organizations, which can be a rewarding way to give back to the community and meet like-minded individuals. In addition to clubs and activities, expats often meet people through their work or by attending social gatherings. Many expats in Runaway Bay also use online platforms and social media groups to connect with others in the expat community. These platforms often organize meetups and events, providing another avenue for expats to socialize and make new friends. Dining out is another common way for expats to meet people in Runaway Bay.

Attending local music performances or art exhibitions can also be a great way to meet people, as these events often attract a diverse crowd. Lastly, simply exploring the town and its surrounding areas can lead to unexpected encounters and friendships. Whether it's a trip to the local market, a hike in the nearby hills, or a day at the beach, there are plenty of opportunities for expats to meet people and immerse themselves in the local culture," said one person in Runaway Bay.
