3. Jamaica
• Jamaica's rich history stretches back beyond the 15th century, and includes the settlements of
the gentle Arawak Indians (who named the island Xaymaca), Spanish mariners, English
conquerors, and Asian migrants, all of whom added to the multi-ethnic heritage of this
Caribbean island. Modern Jamaica is the land of reggae and rum, wearing a mantle of
roughshod romance that attracts travelers the world over looking to escape the routine of daily
life. The landscape is a mosaic of palmed golden beaches and a beautiful mountainous interior.
• Once the crown jewel of the British sugar empire, its coastal plains and lofty jungles are still
dotted with colonnaded mansions, thriving plantations, and ruins of others that did not survive
the slave rebellions. Many of the remaining mansions are now opulent inns flanked not only by
the sugar fields, but also by golf courses, while the beaches that once harbored ruthless,
notorious pirates now harbor vacationers seeking the perfect tan. And you'll note that music is
the heartbeat of Jamaica; nearly everywhere you go you feel its rhythm pulsing through the air,
the marketplaces, through the locals and, soon enough, through you. For vacationers with a
free and festive spirit, Jamaica is your place to shine!
5. Negril, Jamaica
• Situated along Seven Mile Beach, this is one of the best strands
of sandy beach on the island, and is known for its carefree
atmosphere. The pace is slow and laidback. Still, there has been
a boom in hotel construction that converted Negril from a hippie
hideaway in the 60s and early 70s into a mainstream tourist
destination good for families, singles, and couples alike.
• Visit Rick’s Café and watch the cliff divers or give it a try yourself.
• Taste authentic Jamaica jerk chicken at roadside jerk shack.
• Visit one of the beach bars and dance the night away.
• About an hour from airport in Montego Bay.
