Jamaica

As the third largest island in the area, Jamaica continues to be one of the most sought after, colorful, and idealistic examples of what the Caribbean should be. White sand beaches, blue mountain peaks, lush tropical foliage, and a history and culture that grounds itself among its Rasta and reggae heritage. Tourists here talk at length about the friendliness of the locals, world-class dining, golf, night life, and quintessential beach bars lining the beaches with their colorful hues. While some tourists may choose to stronghold themselves in their resort, the real adventurers will discover the true flavor of the island among the many street markets, fishing villages, and bus tours. Some of the most popular Jamaica cities are Montego Bay (a.k.a. Mo' Bay), offering a lively night life, Negril, specializing in its water sports (sailing, deep-sea fishing, scuba), and Ochos Rios, known for its botanical gardens and small town feel.
