Jamaica
What is it about Jamaica that continues to charm and entice so many visitors year after year? Is it the miles of soft powder sand beaches bordered by dramatic mountain ranges, lush colorful vegetation and azure seas tinted with every imaginable shade of blue? Is it the wide selection of resorts, ranging from small, one story villas on the beach to grand, opulent resorts, fitted with every conceivable amenity and facility, and everything in between? Is it the idyllic conditions for SCUBA diving, snorkeling, sport fishing and a host of other water sports activities? Is it the large number of championship golf courses, the lush botanical gardens, the colonial era estates, colorful markets or bamboo rafting down lazy rivers? Or is it the music; at once vibrant, melodic and hypnotic, as colorful as its people and as warm as the noonday sun? What ever your interest is, you’re sure to find it in Jamaica.
Montego Bay, or "Mo’Bay", is located on the island’s northwest coast. It is the second largest city, but the undisputed center for tourism. Mo’Bay has a large concentration of colonial era houses and some of which remain as working plantations.
On the western most tip of the island, you’ll find Negril. Due to its location, Negril’s blessed with big screen quality sunsets, each more spectacular than the last, which you can enjoy from front row seating along its seven mile stretch of fine, white powder sand beaches. A great network of cliffs, coves and coral reefs is a special treat for divers and snorkelers.
About 100 km east of Montego Bay is Ocho Rios, rich in natural beauty. Here is home to world famous Dunn’s Falls, which is a must-see for any visitor to Jamaica. Also nearby is Discovery Bay, where Columbus first landed; Runaway Bay, so called because slaves used this area as an escape route; and Nine Miles, the birthplace of legendary Bob Marley. Ocho Rios also offers exceptional conditions for snorkeling and SCUBA diving, and there’s even a spot where you can swim with the dolphins.
