Rocky Point's economy is primarily driven by fishing. Local fishermen use small boats to catch a variety of fish and shellfish that are sold in local markets and restaurants. In addition to fishing, bauxite mining in the area has historically been a source of employment for some residents, although activity has fluctuated over the years. Small-scale agriculture is also practiced, with the production of crops such as melons and chili peppers, important to Jamaican cuisine.
