Doctors
Cave Beach
It began in 1906 when Dr. Alexander James McCatty generously donated
his beach property to found a bathing club in Montego Bay.
The Club got its name because it was used by Dr. McCatty and his friends,
who were mainly from the medical profession and, at that time they entered
the tiny beach through a cave. The cave however, was destroyed by a hurricane
in 1932. The water which is crystal clear has a temperature range, winter
and summer from 78 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit, 22 to 28 Celcius.
YS
Falls
The YS falls, named for the initials of the original owners of the farm
on which they are sited, are among Jamaica's most spectacular, consisting
of a series of seven cascades. The YS farm is about 33 miles (53km) west
of Mandeville and the falls are reached by a 10-minute tractor journey.
The falls are unspoiled, and bathing is possible in the crystal-clear
greenish pools. A wooden stairway leads to a platform beside the highest
waterfall. Recent additions to the attractions at YS Falls include exhilarating
canopy rides, which glide from the top of the falls to its base, and river
tubing, which are accompanied by experienced guides.
South
Coast Safari
Black River - This town in St Elizabeth parish still displays relics of the days when it was one of the most influential in Jamaica, being a major producer of black textile dye before the days of synthetic dyes. Still to be seen along the waterfront are some old wooden buildings with colonnaded verandas and gingerbread trim, and the Invercauld Hotel, built in 1889, gives a hint of what the great houses of the town in its heyday were like. Today tourists stop off here mainly to take a boat safari on the Black River itself, which at 44 miles (71km) is Jamaica’s longest river. Peat moss at the river bottom makes the crystal clear water appear black. The 90-minute boat tours take in the 125-square-mile (324 sq km) area of wetland known as the Great Morass, which is home to crocodiles and diverse birdlife. There are five tours a day leaving from the dock beside the Black River bridge.
Appleton Rum Estate
- Nestling in the sugar cane fields of St Elizabeth parish, the Appleton
Rum Estate near the village of Magotty offers the chance to find out all
there is to know about the production of rum. There is a small museum
with equipment and artefacts from the days gone by, and a resident donkey
to demonstrate how sugar cane used to be crushed by turning the teeth
of a mill. The estate's vast acreage is still planted with sugar cane,
and visitors are shown how it is harvested, crushed, fermented, distilled
and aged in handmade oak barrels. Then blending is explained, before the
bottling is demonstrated and thirsty tourists can end off their visit
at the tavern to sample the estate's rums and liqueurs. Tours include
a complimentary bottle of rum.
