Kingston, the capital city, is located on the southeast coast of the island. It is the largest English-speaking city in the Caribbean. Montego Bay, on the north coast, has more hotels, guest houses and villas than any other resort area in Jamaica. Other resort areas are Negril, about 52 miles from Montego Bay, and boasts a seven-mile stretch of white sand beach. Runaway Bay, east of Montego Bay is less built up than Montego Bay and has an 18-hole golf course and a number of fine hotels. The town of Ocho Rios is famous for the much-photographed, Dunn's River Falls. Mandeville has a rustic, old world charm. Visitors will enjoy cooler temperatures than in any other resort area on the island. Port Antonio is located on the east coast and known for its lush vegetation. Much of the plant life indigenous to Jamaica is found here.
