Undoubtedly the most iconic of all the Caribbean islands, Jamaica is known for its lively culture as well as its stunning natural beauty. Indeed, for an island with a population of less than three million people, it's amazing how big an impact the country has had on global culture, with the likes of Bob Marley and Usain Bolt being just two of the many Jamaicans whose charisma has become legendary around the world.
Before visiting the island, travellers will undoubtedly have visions of white sandy beaches, lined with huts playing reggae music and selling all manner of rum-based cocktails. And you won't be disappointed once you arrive, with all of the above available in abundance here - although there is much else to see and do besides.
For example, you could take a trip into the mountains to visit Nine Mile, which is where Bob Marley was born and where his body now rests, or climb the stunning waterfall at Dunn's River Falls. Alternatively, you could stick to the coast and have a go at snorkelling, scuba diving or just relaxing on the sand and working on your tan.
