Things to do in Jamaica
You will find there are many things to do in Jamaica. I spend most of my time in Kingston, but my family always makes sure I never have a dull moment when I go!
Here are a few places I visited and had the time of my life:
Appleton Estates Rum Tour - Learn the history of Appleton Estates and sample some tasty, smooth rum on this interactive tour!
Frenchmen's Cove - Visit a secluded beach cove!
Rick's Cafe - Capture a picture-perfect sunset, listen to live music and watch cliff-divers plunge into clear blue waters!
Ocho Rios Bay Beach - Have some seafood, take a walk along the soft white sand or take a dip in the crystal clear water!
Fort Clarance Beach - Yet another beautiful beach where you'll find some fresh seafood and good music!
Port Royal - You can literally spend the day in Port Royal! Walk the grounds, have a drink at the bar at Morgan's Harbour and eat some delicious food!
Places to eat & drink in Jamaica
Jamaica has some of the most amazing food you will eat. Especially if you like a little (or a lot) of heat. As stated earlier, my personal favorite when I go to Jamaica is stewed chicken. I HAVE to have some stewed chicken and veggies as soon as I land! But you can get stewed chicken anywhere in Jamaica (lucky for me!). There are a few spots that you should check out in Jamaica that have some delicious dining or snack options that don't include stewed chicken.
Here are some of my recommendations:
Devon's House - Has some of the best ice creams you will ever eat!
Chilitos - Jamexican at its finest! If you like good drinks and spicy food, Chilitos is the spot for you!
The Pub Bar and Grill at the Mayfair Hotel - This place has really good drinks and really good wings! This is definitely a spot to grab some drinks and watch the big soccer match!
