Jamaica a Caribbean Destination

If you are planning to head to the Caribbean for a holiday, then Jamaica should feature high on your list of Caribbean destinations. Whether you are traveling with your family or friends, this island is guaranteed to turn your holiday into an unforgettable experience. There is so much to see and do that a little planning in advance will benefit you greatly. Undoubtedly beaches form a major part of Jamaica’s tourist attractions and the two resorts of Negril and Montego Bay are home to quite a few popular beaches.

Negril Beach or often referred to as Seven Mile Beach because of its length is a popular beach resort. The restaurants, bars and pubs draw both tourists and locals alike all day long. The beach is safe and appropriate for a cool swim, snorkeling or a diving tour.

 The other popular beach resort is Montego Bay, which also boasts a number of interesting beaches and diving sites. Founded in 1906 by a group of doctors and even named after them, Doctor’s Cave Beach is a popular bathing site and the waters here are known to possess curative powers. The crystal clear waters are fed by mineral springs and usually have a temperature of between 78 degrees F and 84 degrees F. The bathing spot also contains a couple of dining options, changing areas and showers.

Another must see site is the Dunn’s River Falls, which is a majestic 600 ft waterfall that cascades graciously, crisscrossing slippery little steps before merging into the deep blue sea. You can enjoy the majestic site from a distance or even dare to climb up the falls with the help of an experienced guide, or swim in small whirlpools.

Who can forget the famous Bob Marley or the James Bond novels? Visit these two great legends home and museums at Ocho Rios resort. Take a tour of the famous Bob Marley Mausoleum or enjoy the magnificent natural surroundings with a ride on the Chukka Cove’s Zion Bus. James Bond fans can visit the famous Goldeneye estate on which Ian Fleming wrote his legendary spy series.

Last but definitely not the least is the capital Kingston, which too has a number of interesting attractions including the 120-year old Devon House Heritage Site that is known for hosting events even now. Also the coffee plantations that date back to two centuries are yet another well-known site that gives you a glimpse into the lifestyle of yesteryears.
