Visitors to the Northern side of Jamaica have the chance to see plenty of interesting sights as well. Montego Bay is one of the most popular resort areas of the island, and the locale is filled with great places to check out.
Local folklore tells the story of Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall Plantation. This 6,000-acre slice of history is said to be haunted by Palmer's ghost due to a slave's curse. It was her unfortunate string of husbands as well as the mistreatment of her slaves which earned her the nickname of The White Witch. More recently a nearby golf course was named The White Witch after her.
In nearby Falmouth, visitors can see another historic plantation house. Greenwood Great House is more than 200 years old, and was owned by the family of English poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett-Browning. Now it is considered to be one of the best-preserved great houses on Jamaica.
Here, too you'll find something for Bob Marley fans to enjoy. The Bob Marley Experience and Theatre shows films on the life and work of Bob Marley. The center also includes what is considered the largest collection in the world of Bob Marley gifts, souvenirs, T-shirts and other merchandise.
The Marine Park offers glass bottom boat tours to showcase the aqualife of Jamaica, while the Rockland Bird Feeding Station helps save injured birds. Or, for the history fan, visit the remains of Fort Montego.
