Just under 150 miles long and 51 miles at its widest, Jamaica is one of the largest islands in the Caribbean; its mountains reach an amazing 7,402 feet and are among the highest in this exquisite part of the world. Jamaica has more than just fine beaches and stunning scenery. There is an array of watersports to try, and at Ocho Rios you can climb a waterfall, wade through the pools that nestle temptingly among warm rocks and swim with dolphins. For those who like to browse around shops hunting for gifts, there is a shopping centre, as well as a couple of craft markets too. The resort area of Negril is famed for its long sandy beaches, fantastic sunsets and cliff-jumping.
