Getting around

Getting around Cornwall County is pretty straightforward – and let’s face it, half the fun is taking in the island views as you go. The main towns like Montego Bay, Negril, and Lucea are all well-connected via the A1 coastal road. Taxis and route taxis (shared cabs) are a popular and affordable option for short distances, and car hire is available if you fancy doing your own exploring. Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport is the main gateway to the region, with easy access to nearby resorts and attractions. And if you're feeling bougie? Helicopter transfers are totally a thing here too.

Things to do for families in Cornwall County

Cornwall County is a family playground wrapped in palm trees. Head to Dolphin Cove in Lucea where the kids can swim with dolphins, meet stingrays, or even touch a shark (don’t worry, it’s safe!). Fancy a day of adventure? Kool Runnings Water Park in Negril has slides, lazy rivers, and even paintball for the big kids. And for something a little calmer, a gentle bamboo raft ride down the Martha Brae River is both beautiful and totally chill. Don’t miss Rocklands Bird Sanctuary near Montego Bay, where the kids can feed hummingbirds right from their hands. It’s like a Disney moment – but in real life.

Things to do for couples in Cornwall County

Lovebirds, Cornwall County is basically a rom-com waiting to happen. Start with a sunset at Rick’s Café in Negril – cocktail in hand, watching cliff divers leap into the sea as the sky turns flamingo pink. Want some spa time? Montego Bay is packed with luxury resorts offering couples’ massages and oceanfront hot tubs. Take a boat trip to Booby Cay Island for a dreamy picnic or hop into the healing waters of the Blue Hole Mineral Spring – just the right amount of off-the-beaten-path to feel special. Add in some moonlit dancing to live reggae and you've basically nailed the perfect romantic getaway.

Things to do for groups in Cornwall County

Whether it’s a girl gang, stag squad or just your best mates on tour, Cornwall County knows how to show you a good time. Negril’s beach parties are the stuff of legend – think DJs, fire dancers, and drinks served in coconuts. Looking for some adrenaline? Zip-lining through the jungle canopy or ATV riding in the hills near Sandy Bay will get your pulse racing. Then there’s Appleton Estate – a dreamy day trip where you’ll sip your way through rum tastings and learn how Jamaica’s famous spirit is made. For something more laid-back, book a catamaran cruise – music, snorkeling, rum punch... you know the vibe.

Things to do for foodies in Cornwall County

If you came for the food, Cornwall County’s got your taste buds covered. Start at a roadside jerk shack – Scotchies in Montego Bay is basically a rite of passage – where smoky pimento-scented chicken sizzles over open flames. Don’t skip the festival (that’s the fried dumpling, not a party – though we’ve got those too). In Negril, seafood lovers can tuck into grilled lobster straight from the ocean at The Lobster House or try curried conch for something authentically Jamaican. For a real treat, head up into the hills to Zimbali Retreats, where farm-to-table gets a Caribbean twist. And of course, you’ve got to try a patty from Juici or Tastee – it’s fast food, Jamaican style, and it hits every time.
