The blue lagoon - with one mentioning it immediately comes to mind the eponymous film. And this is not surprising: once in the Blue Lagoon on the island of Jamaica , this film was shot, so popular in the 1980s.
Where exactly is the Blue Lagoon?
This paradise, an untouched oasis, is only 15 km from the Jamaican town of Port Antonio , one of the island's best resorts. It should be noted that the nearest beach is a 15-minute drive from the Blue Lagoon. Therefore, if you are coming here to luxuriate on the beach, then after viewing the lagoon you will have to drive a little further.
The beauty of the Blue Lagoon
First of all, I would like to note the main striking feature of this Jamaican landmark - an unusual shade of water, for which the lagoon and got its name. Local people sometimes call it mystical. The answer to your "why" is simple: it changes its intensity throughout the day, and the color of the water in the bay at a particular moment depends on the angle at which the sun reflects its rays in the waters of the Blue Beauty-lagoon.
If you spend most of the day here, you can witness these unforgettable color changes. So, in a moment the water will have a turquoise hue, but before you blink, it will change it to sapphire or dark blue.
No less interesting feature of the Blue Lagoon is that, entering its waters, a person feels simultaneously flows of warm water from the Caribbean Sea and a fairly refreshing course of ice underground flows.
Earlier this place was called The Blue Hole, but after the success of the film with Brooke Shields in the title role it was renamed. Now every day in the Blue Lagoon organize tours, prices for which are about $ 150 per person. On a short excursion you will be told about the history of this picturesque place. If you want, you can go for a fee on a boat or raft along the shore.
How to get to the Blue Lagoon?
From Kingston , the capital of Jamaica, it can be reached by a rented car in less than 2 hours. If you are now in Montego Bay , then please note that the road will take about 4 hours.
