    The Blue Lagoon

    Posted by VickyBaker 19 October 2006

    The Blue Lagoon, just outside Port Antonio, was made famous by the Brooke Shields film of the same name. Legend has it it's bottomless. A more likely estimation is that it's 52m deep. Without question though, it's a stunning
    spot, with water that turns a kaleidoscope of colours in the sunlight.

    Jake's resort, Treasure Beach

    Posted by VickyBaker 19 October 2006

    Jake's resort is often featured in round-ups of the best the island has to offer - and for a reason. Book into one of the theatrically-designed seafront cottages, where you can stargaze from the flat roof, shower alfresco or throw open the doors to watch the sea lap
    against the cliffs from the comfort of your bed. No wonder it's popular with honeymooners.

    Treasure Beach is around 15 miles from Black River.

    Meet the people

    Posted by VickyBaker 19 October 2006

    Get out of the all-inclusives and take advantage of the Jamaican tourist board's Meet-the-people programme. It's a free service that matches you with locals who share a common profession, hobby or interest, who will then show you some true Jamaican hospitality. I ended up at a multi-generation housewarming party in the Kingston suburbs.
