If you want to have a glimpse at the Jamaican tradition, go to the picturesque places of Mandeville, Whitehouse, Treasure Beach and Black River, where you will find fishing villages, great old houses, and many interesting spots.
Go to the South Coast if you want to see nature at its most beautiful and refreshing: here you can bathe in the warm waterfalls or you can see amazing wetlands, with flora and fauna untouched by man’s hand.
There are some cozy, small hotels, villas, guesthouses or resorts where you can accommodate yourself, all located near the beach and ocean, giving you the opportunity to have a refreshing stay.
When you get hungry from all that traveling or swimming, go to any restaurant that you find and ask for a plate of spicy lobster or delicious shrimp and your appetite will surely be satisfied.
If you are into sports, this is the place to be, you can go fishing, scuba diving, wind surfing, and horse back riding on the beach.
So, what more can you ask for? Heat, sun, exquisite beaches, warm, turquoise water, and a lot of fresh air, all accompanied by reggae beats: the recipe for a perfect sunny vacation.
