| Montego Bay Highlights: Falmouth Historically significant Falmouth, about 40 minutes east of Montego Bay, is noted for a fascinating phenomenon that occurs in the water: it glows. Thanks to a large concentration of bioluminescent microorganisms, the small lagoon called Oyster Bay (or Luminous Lagoon) shimmers with an eerie light at night. Embark on an interactive journey traveling through eras of Jamaica’s rich culture with dance, cuisine, art, film and music at Outameni Experience near Falmouth. Take in the town’s well-preserved Georgian architecture at Falmouth Parish Church (1795). Craftsmen sell their wares near the church parking lot. Vendors gather on Wednesday to sell fabrics, clothing, and crafts. They gather on Friday and Saturday to sell fruits and vegetables. Nearby are the 1815-era courthouse and the Barrett House, built by sugar baron Edward Barrett. Nature lovers and romantics will enjoy a picturesque landscape while swimming and rafting the nearby Martha Brae River. Many say the river was named after an Arawak (Taino) Indian girl with magical powers. River-Raft Limited offers rafting trips. Good Hope Great House, a working plantation south of Falmouth, has been restored to its original 1755 Georgian splendor.  |
