Let’s admit it, one thing we all know is Jamaica is jaw-dropping breathtaking. You can hop in your car and go on a road trip with no destination in mind and wander upon some of the most beautiful spots and hidden gems.

However, if you rather have a plan, here are 8 of the prettiest places in Jamaica you should visit.
1. Blue Lagoon
One of Jamaica's most stunning and unspoiled natural treasures is only a few miles up the road from Frenchman's Cove. The Blue Lagoon is a 180-foot-deep underwater sinkhole that was once thought to have no bottom.
Depending on where the sun is in the sky, the water's striking colour varies throughout the day. The area's pristine surroundings and abundant greenery are what make it so unique. The water in the lagoon is exceptionally warm for the region.
Visitors can take boat trips, but it is advised to soak up as much of the magnificent water as you can.
2. Rockhouse Hotel
Rockhouse is set on a cliff face above the Caribbean Sea's beautiful waters. The combination of a maze of thatch-roofed homes, steps, and rock walls creates an extraordinary photo opportunity that is unmatched anyplace else.
Eat at one of the on-site eateries or go snorkelling in Pristine Cove's crystal-clear waters.
3. Bamboo Avenue
A beautiful, shaded drive is offered by Bamboo Avenue. You can pass right through this tunnel on your route to the Appleton Rum Estate to get to the island's delectable rum.
Between Lacovia and Middle Quarters, a two-and-a-half mile section of road is covered in thousands of bamboo shoots that grow tall into the sky before bending over the road. The owners of the Holland Estate built this tunnel in the 17th century to reduce erosion and offer shade for travellers through it. It does so even today.
4. Blue Mountains
With a height of 2,256 meters, Blue Mountain Peak is Jamaica's tallest mountain. Some of the most stunning mountain views in the Caribbean may be found at the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Despite being heavily covered with Jamaica's lush, green vegetation, the mountains seem blue when dense fog blocks the sun's beams. The mountain range, which dominates the eastern side of the island, has several paths that can be travelled on foot or by bike, with or without a guide.
If you manage to reach the peak just before sunrise, the hike there is beautiful. The southern coast of Cuba, which is only 90 miles to the north, can be seen from the peak on clear mornings.
5. Dunn’s River Falls
Dunn's River Falls, one of the island's most distinctive waterfalls, is possibly one of Jamaica's most visited tourist destinations. Visitors may fairly easily climb 600 feet to the top because the water cascades in phases that resemble steps.
The English and Spanish battled for control of the island in 1657, and it is thought to be one of the most significant battle locations. Visitors may experience the river and the nearby beach because the waterfall empties right into the sea. Seem familiar? At the falls, numerous sequences from the James Bond film Dr. No were also shot.
6. Martha Brae River
Take a rafting ride down the picturesque Martha Brae River for an unforgettable journey through Jamaica's bright, tropical rainforest. As you float down the turquoise river on a thirty-foot-long bamboo raft, you will see an astounding array of species and natural wonders.
Before navigating the rapids and stopping at calmer portions of the river for a relaxing swim in the clear, still, water, float along the peaceful waters admiring the breathtaking natural environment and enchanting songbirds.
7. Ys Falls
One of Jamaica’s top attractions is YS Falls. Seven cascading waterfalls, a sculpted river pool, a wild jungle, and tropical gardens may all be found here. Enjoy a day in paradise while lounging in the sun and swimming in the pool. Then, you can see the jungle from above when you go zip-lining.
8. Frenchman’s Cove
Frenchman's Cove, located in Port Antonio, Jamaica, is the ultimate tropical haven, tucked between rugged, forested cliffs. Some of the finest white sand may be found on the cove's beach, where some of the clearest blue water breaks in salty, moderate waves.
On one side of the cove, a small stream of the largest river in the area empties into a magnificent, refreshing natural pool by combining fresh and salt water. If one day in the stunning location isn't enough, the property offers a hotel with fantastic cliff-side villas that may be rented.
Whether you go with a group or by yourself, these 8 spots are definitely picture worthy so remember to take your camera along.
