What We Are Not:
- a resort town with jet skis, para-sailing,
and glitzy nightlife
- competing in the rat race
- the typical tourist trap
|
That its beaches tend to be less sprawling than
those of other island resorts is more than compensated for by the fact
that they are also virtually deserted.
- American Way
|
|
What We Offer:
-
six miles of sandy beaches,
private coves, and rocky shorelines
-
four public beaches well suited
for swimming, snorkeling, and body-surfing
- an opportunity to learn about the island's
vibrant culture and rich history from the people who live here
-
day trips for sightseeing,
exploring, and more
|
"The first thing that strikes you about the southwestern coast is how
different it is from the rest of Jamaica...You also find an exceedingly
friendly population of farmers and fishermen."
