Top places to visit

1. Blue Lagoon

Jacques Cousteau dived in it, Brooke Shields frolicked in it and – so legend has it – a dragon lies at the bottom of it. The Blue Lagoon, one of Jamaica's most famous beauty spots, is a place of some mystery – as well as a stunning location for a film set. This giant sink-hole formed in the fascinatingly eroded limestone found across much of Jamaica is where the warm tropical Caribbean Sea comes to play with cool underwater rock springs.

2. Bob Marley Museum

No one did more to bring the island of Jamaica, with all its vibrant sounds and glorious colours, to the world's attention than Bob Marley. In fact, to the world at large, Bob Marley is Jamaica – the man who made reggae and Rastafarianism a global phenomenon, and transformed Kingston and Trench Town into places of pilgrimage. And nowhere in Kingston is more charged with his legacy than his former home, the Bob Marley Museum – a museum dedicated to a legend.
