Overview

Sunsets by the sea, cliffs plunging into the water and reggae from a beach bar: Negril on the western tip of Jamaica is a place for couples who have nothing else planned for the evening. The long sandy beach stretches for kilometres, and further south rocks drop steeply into the sea. Port Antonio on the north-east coast is the counterpart, green and rainy, with the Blue Lagoon and bamboo rafts on the Rio Grande. Behind the town the Blue Mountains rise.

Between November and April the weather is dry and warm, a good period for beach days and excursions. Families thus experience two sides of the island: beach on one side, jungle on the other. English is spoken, alongside Jamaican Patois. Good to know: the flight time is about 11 to 13 hrs, with a change.

Tipping is customary, for guides allow for a separate amount, US dollars are often accepted in tourist areas. You clarify in a video call with Island Escapes which coast suits you better.
