About Jamaica
Jamaica is named as the Land of Springs and the Land of Wood and Water. It is a very popular summer destination among the rich and famous. Even if staying at an all-inclusive holiday resort, there is much to see in Jamaica, with mountains, jungles and beaches.There are more than 13 thousand miles of roads all around the island, with 75% of them paved. Of course the best things to explore in Jamaica are its beaches. But there are other sights that are definitely worth a visit as well.
What to see
Jamaica is also famous for sandy beaches, waterfalls and wildlife. So there's plenty to see while driving your hire car around Jamaica. A popular starting point of a road tour, of this exciting island, is Runaway Bay.Like cricket and Bob Marley?
If you are fond of singer Bob Marley, then you should drop by his museum sometime. He was born in Jamaica and was responsible for making reggae music popular in the world over.Kingston and her Museums
Aside from that, there is the National Gallery, the Devon House, the Hope Botanical Gardens, and the Spanish Town to marvel at. All of these attractions can be found in the capital city of Kingston.Consider adding few days in Kingston, and to get the most out of the nearby attractions, we advise renting a car. The Blue Mountain route passes through coffee plantations and offers stunning scenery on the way to John Crow National Park
Ocho Rios
Ocho Rios, near Kingston, is in fact the key tourist destination in Jamaica. It offers first class scuba diving, challenging golf, beach front hotels and mouth watering fresh seafood. There is no shortage of things to experience in and around Ocho Rios.Montego Bay
Just got to sit at the dock of the bay. Enough said. Cheers Otis!Coming by Boat?
If stepping off a cruise ship, and time is limited, consider taking a Sea Taxi to visit Port Antonia, Runaway Bay, Trelawny, Dolphin Cove or Reggae Beach. Do remember to bring along your snorkel gear!Jamaica Tips
