Bob Marley Museum
For many, Jamaica means reggae, and reggae means Bob Marley. If this sounds like you, a visit to Kingston definitely means a visit to the reggae superstar’s former home and studio. The large, creaky colonial-era wooden house on Hope Rd where Marley lived and recorded from 1975 until his death in 1981 is the city’s most-visited site. Today the house functions as a tourist attraction, museum and shrine, but much remains as it was during Marley’s day.

Virgin Islands National Park
Virgin Islands National Park covers two-thirds of St John, plus 5650 acres underwater. It’s a tremendous resource, offering miles of shoreline, pristine reefs and 20 hiking trails. The park visitors center sits on the dock across from the Mongoose Junction shopping arcade. It’s an essential first stop to obtain free guides on hiking trails, snorkeling spots, bird-watching lists, petroglyph sites and daily ranger-led activities. Green iguanas, geckoes, hawksbill turtles, wild donkeys and an assortment of other feral animals roam the landscape.

Soup Bowl
The world-famous reef break known as the Soup Bowl is right off the beach and is one of the best waves in the Caribbean islands. Don’t underestimate the break just because the region is not known for powerful surf – Soup Bowl gets big. The best months are August to March.
Princess Margaret Beach
Simply divine. Located just around the corner from Port Elizabeth, it is one of the loveliest stretches of sand on the island. To get there requires a slightly contrived journey, traveling on the main road south and turning down the narrow road to the beach (about a five-minute, US$10 taxi trip), or get a ride on one of the boats idling in the harbor for about US$20.
Carenage
A scenic inlet, the Carenage is a great place for a stroll along the water’s edge, taking in the colorful fishing boats and the bustle of supplies being loaded for other islands. At the north end, the sturdy Georgian buildings overlooking the water – including the red-brick National Library – have been restored.
