Negril: Located 50 miles southwest of Montego Bay on the west coast of Jamaica, Negril's main attraction is Seven Mile Beach. Miles of white sand and some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving make the beach a big draw. The east end of Negril is where you can find some of the best hotels nestled along the panoramic beachfront. The Negril Lighthouse, at the westerly tip of Jamaica was built in 1894 and it offers a chance to climb some 100 steps for a view of Negril Point, the bay, and the sea inlet.

Montego Bay: Lying on the northwest coast, Montego Bay is the second largest town in Jamaica and the most cosmopolitan of all the resort areas. A thriving business and commercial center, Mo-Bay functions as the main market town for most of western Jamaica. It supports cruise-ship piers and a growing industrial center at the free port.

Ocho Rios & Runaway Bay: The most visited by cruise ships than any other Jamaican town, Ocho Rios once survived as a small banana and fishing port. Located east of Montego Bay, the bay is lined with palm trees, sand white beaches and a variety of hotels, inns and resorts. Ocho Rios hosts a major fishing tournament every fall for competitive anglers from all over the globe. The biggest attraction is Dunn's River Falls, but try to avoid this spot on Cruise ship day.

Port Antonio: East of Ocho Rios, Port Antonio is situated on the coast just north of the Blue Mountains and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in Jamaica. Although tourism began in the 1890s with visits from cruise ships, Port Antonio has managed to stay a sleepy little town while the crowds flock to Montego Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios. European duchesses and barons, along with film stars like Linda Evans, Raquel Welch, and Peter O'Toole come to Port Antonio. Whoopi Goldberg filmed Clara's Heart and Tom Cruise filmed Cocktails in this area.
