About Jamaica
The island of Jamaica is lined by beautiful beaches, backed by striking mountain scenery and rich rainforests. One popular destination for spring breakers is Montego Bay, with its all-inclusive resorts, while Negril is ideal for its scuba diving and snorkeling sites. This gives a choice of either lazing on the beach and partying all night, or more active days exploring the reef.
Of course, the island nation is known as the birthplace of reggae music. In fact, its capital, Kingston, features the Bob Marley Museum dedicated to the famous reggae singer. For spring breakers who like everything irie-related, the city is a must-visit at this time of the year.
