Discovery Bay, St.Ann, Jamaica

Discovery Bay features white sand beaches stretching along turquoise waters, bordered by limestone cliffs and tropical vegetation reaching the shoreline.

Christopher Columbus made his first landing in Jamaica at Discovery Bay in 1494, leading to the establishment of Spanish colonial settlements in the region.

The Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory conducts research on coral reef biology and tropical coastal processes, contributing to marine science since 1965.

Visitors can reach Discovery Bay through the nearby Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, with regular transport services connecting both locations.

The bay receives groundwater through deep cracks in its limestone base, creating natural underwater springs that feed into the Caribbean Sea.
