Kingston

Kingston is the perfect attraction for those looking for cultural and historical attractions, as well as for those who want to go out to nightlife ventures. As such, the city is the most cosmopolitan in Jamaica and the capital’s developments offer a very cosmopolitan experience. And, of course, there is no shortage of reggae in the city’s bars and restaurants.

Negril

Negril is famous for Seven Mile Beach, a 12 km long beach. In addition to its large dimensions, this beach stands out for its calm waters, which make it suitable for activities such as diving and water sports.

It is also worth mentioning the sunset, one of the most beautiful in all of Jamaica and the Caribbean.

Montego Bay is called by the natives Mobay. It is one of the top destinations for tourists traveling to Jamaica. Much of this fame is due to the city’s reggae festival, the largest in the world — Reggae Sumfest. In addition to cultural attractions, the region has excellent beaches, such as Doctor’s Cave Bay, Montego Bay Marine Park, among others.

Dolphin cove

Dolphin Cove is a theme and water park located in Ocho Rios. It is one of Jamaica’s biggest tourist attractions and a must-see destination for anyone who loves dolphins and marine wildlife.

Port Antonio

Port Antonio is a city located between two harbors. There are few people living in the area. Thus, it is an attraction for those who want to escape the stress of cities and rest a little.

The region was “discovered” by actor Errol Flynn, who ran his boat aground in the region. It was love at first sight and soon the actor introduced the place to other celebrities. Today, there are several artists’ houses and moguls in the area, but the region’s reserved status still holds.

Nine Mile

Nine Mile is the ideal attraction for anyone who is a fan of cultural tours, or even for the Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley, as it is the village where the biggest star of this genre was born. In this way, it becomes an interesting visit to make in Jamaica.

James Bond Beach

James Bonde Beach stands out for its crystal clear, calm waters and other natural beauties. On this beach, the sea blends in with the infinity of the sky, creating a unique and magical perspective. The beach was famous for serving as the inspiration for Flemming to write his stories about secret agent James Bond.

Frenchman’s Cove Beach

Frenchman’s Cove Beach is a private beach. Thus, to enter, it is necessary to disburse the amount of 10 dollars. It is well worth paying to visit the beach, as it is one of the most beautiful in Jamaica and in the world. The water, sometimes turquoise blue, sometimes crystalline green, makes the environment paradisiacal.
