Jamaica Tourism & Visitor Guide
Map
Welcome to Jamaica!
Found 145 km (90 mi) south of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea, Jamaica is an island paradise that defines the spirit of the Caribbean. Known for its tropical beauty, leisurely pace and lively music scene, Jamaica is best described as a cultural melting pot influenced by a diverse population and thriving tourism industry.The crystal waters of the Caribbean Sea, lush tropical beauty and centuries of history lend themselves to a vacation destination favoured by leisure travelers and honeymooners. Warm and humid all year round, the weather is fairly stable with only the occasional storm. As can be expected from any island destination, water sports are popular, with miles of powdery beaches, reefs and many sunken ships to explore. Land based activities are equally popular, and Jamaica offers some of the most spectacular and challenging golf courses, mountain hikes and tennis courts in the Caribbean. During the off-season there are fewer tourists and life on the island is even more relaxed and leisurely.
