Port Antonio

Once the river port destination for the banana boats, this village was a favorite of movie stars and the cradle of modern Jamaican tourism.

Port Antonio is the Mecca of the island's deep-sea fishing and a gateway to the nearby John Crow and Blue Mountain ranges.

Kingston

Kingston is the cradle of Jamaican culture and contains many historical sites and botanical gardens. The first English capital city -- Port Royal -- was built just across from Kingston in the 1600s and was later destroyed by an earthquake and tidal wave. Spanish Town, just outside of Kingston was the site of the Spanish settlement before the English ran them off.

Mandeville

Located at 2,000 feet in elevation, the city has one of the best climates on the island. The English built the city to escape the "hot tropics" of the coastline. It is a charming town and is a great home base for bird watching, caving, or to branch out and explore the mountainous regions or the south coast.

Negril

The "newest" resort destination on the west coast was discovered in the 1700s by rowdy pirates. The 1960s and 1970s saw the sleepy little town invaded by hippies from North America. Today, people are being drawn in even greater numbers to its famed seven-mile-long sandy beach and its spectacular sunsets.
