DISCOVERY BAY
Originally named Puerto Seco (Dry Harbor) by the Spanish, Discovery Bay
is considered by some to be the location of the first landing of Christopher
Columbus on Jamaica in 1494. Discovery Bay, together with Runaway
Bay and Ocho Rios, is part of the "North Coast Resorts"-- the original
tourist destination of Jamaica. This is "old charm" Jamaica--once the
favorite haunt of pirates, smugglers, and a few other legendary
characters, including Noel Coward, Errol Flynn, and
James Bond creator Ian Fleming.
Although not everyone can agree upon the history of this wide flask-
shaped bay, all can agree upon the beauty of its pristine beaches
and crystal clear waters. Discovery Bay is not only a favorite
vacation spot for tourists, it is a favorite for Jamaicans as well,
so you know it has to be good!
Imagine yourself in a beautiful villa, where the staff awaits to pamper
your every need and the atmosphere beckons you to relax by the pool.
You may find it hard to leave, even for a day, but Discovery Bay is
close to many natural attractions--including a ten mile cave system
where you can go 120 feet underground and see beautiful clear
water grottoes. The Bay is also just a short drive from Runaway
Bay, and a day trip's distance from Montego Bay, Ocho Rios
and Port Antonio.
