MIAMI, FLORIDA

South Beach

Of all the beaches in the world, South Beach, MIAMI is hands down the beach party capital of the world. Every second, every minute, every hour, every DAY this beach is ecstatic with music, dancing, surfing, beach volleyball, and much more, sun bathers have the opportunity to work on their tan with the help of tanning butlers while later cooling down in the turquoise ocean water and perhaps participating in the daily surfing competitions or the various beach sports (soccer, volleyball, frisbee)

South Beach is also surrounded by an assortment of restaurants, shops, bars and much more, brand names such as GUESS, Quiksilver, Marciano can be found along the strip as well an assortment of restaurants that can be very expensive (eg. 25$ for a pina colada).

The night life however is the greatest feature of this destination, as soon as the sun goes down, the spectacular night clubs open and the strip really comes alive with music and dancing. If you travel to Miami, South Beach is a prime attraction, for club goers, sun bathers, jocks and shoppers.

The Everglades

Far from the beaches, on the other side of Miami lie tropical swampy rivers known as The Everglades, these beautiful marshes are covered with alligators, lizards, certain tropical birds and other exotic creatures. The main attraction is a 45 minute boat ride around the river, where you will spot alligators, iguanas and other creatures as well as learn

interesting facts about the Everglades and view interesting flora that grow in it’s waters. A secondary attraction is a show about alligators where volunteers from the audience even get the chance to get up close in a cage as well as help feed the alligators. The Everglades are magnificent array of wetlands that are truly a sight to see, I suggest visiting this attraction in the morning as this is when most of the animals are out and another tip is to bring earplugs, the noisy rudder of the boat is no match for the tiny pieces of cotton you are given there to block you’re ears.

Jamaica

JAMAICA

Most islands in the Caribbean are known for their white sandy beaches and clear blue waters. Jamaica's got that and whole lot more, this magnificent island is covered by lush greenery and spectacular rocky cliffs. Tourists have the chance to indulge into the rich and diverse culture and history as well as recreational activities such as snorkeling, swimming, boating, hiking or even relaxing by the beach. Whether it's any of them, Jamaica is an amazing tourist destination that should be on top of your list if you are traveling to the Caribbean

Dunns River Falls

Located in the Saint Ann Parish, near Ocho Rios, these famous waterfalls are perhaps one of the most beautiful and distinctive in the entire Caribbean. With a height of almost 900 feet, tourists, hikers have the chance to climb these falls as they are shaped as large steps. The falls are surrounded by a giant forest which provides shade to hikers, as well as being characterized by being one of the few waterfalls that empty directly into the ocean, swimmers have the chance of slipping through the clear blue water as well as sliding down some of the flat formations near the waterfall staircase.

These falls are not intended for people under the age of 8-9 years old, many of the rock formations and steps can be dangerous for young children and for parents it is often hard to climb while carrying a child. If you are traveling on a cruise ship, the main port is Montego Bay at around a one and a half hour drive from the falls. It is likely that this may be the only tourist destination you may accomplish if you are traveling on a cruise. However if this is your first time to Jamaica, this is truly an attraction worth seeing and experiencing.

Doctor’s Cave Beach

Located in the Saint James Parish, in Montego Bay, this crystal white beach is well known as the most famous in Jamaica. Surrounded by clear blue water that is among the warmest ocean water you may ever experience. The beach is also the site of a magnificent club as well as a array of beautiful caves and natural pools of starfish, oysters, crabs etc. The beach is also a part of the Montego Bay Marine Park which is a prime attraction for snorkeling and panoramic ocean views.

Doctor’s Cave Beach is a prime attraction for sun bathers, swimmers and cave explorers as well as perhaps one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.
