Take a Peek

From a plantation-estate past to a party-filled present, Jamaica's attractions run the gamut. Those in search of a sedate stay can enjoy nature, beaches, and history, while those looking for lively activities can meet lady luck as well.

Vacationers can get lost in history on old sugar plantations and ancient forests, or live on the edge by risking some change at a Jamaican casino. Learn about the mysterious White Witch of Rose Hall or the spot where the James Bond novels were written. For those with more musical inclinations, stop in at any of several spots dedicated to Bob Marley.

Nature has plenty to offer up as well. Pristine beaches are a great place to start. Jamaica is home to so many incredible beaches that travelers can choose nearly any area of the island to stay in if they'd like to spend a lazy day at the beach. However, Doctor's Cave Beach and the Seven Mile Beach are two of the island's best known stretches.

Beaches aren't the only natural sights to be found. The Blue Mountains are a gorgeous backdrop to a vacation, and also a great place to explore. The Martha Brae River is another example of the beautiful and incredible natural wonders you'll see throughout the island. Jamaica's nature is part of what made it such a popular vacation spot in the 1960s.

Casinos offer guests the opportunity to try their hand in a game of luck.  Slots are the most popular form of gaming, but visitors will also find other games of chance, such as black jack and craps.  Most casinos can be found in the hotels of larger cities, but there are some in remote locations as well.

Historic sites, natural locales, and exciting gaming facilities come together to make Jamaica enjoyable for every type of traveler. With so many attractions, it is easy to see how Jamaica has become one of the world's top vacation destinations.
