Destination Jamaica

For action stay in the Montego Bay area, which is on the northwest coast. There’s a bustling city, beautiful white sand beaches such as Cornwall Beach and Doctor’s Cave. Visit Belvedere Estate, one of the first sugarcane plantations in Jamaica, which is now a working citrus, banana, and coconut plantation. Visit the new theme park in Montego Bay with its giant water slide, go-kart track, sports bar, and state-of-the-art nightclub.

For a more laid back holiday, Negril has seven miles of white sand beach and coconut palms. Scuba dive and snorkel at the offshore coral reef, watch a spectacular sunset, listen to reggae music and dance until dawn.

Ochos Rios on the north coast has fine dining, great beaches and excellent nightlife. A popular attraction in this area is Dunn’s River Falls.

Kingston is the cultural, commercial and governmental hub of Jamaica and offers some of the best shopping, dining, and nightlife on the island.
