Another place of interest is a lagoon on the north coast of Jamaica called Glistening Waters. There is a restaurant out front but you would pass it and not notice this jewel of a location. Between Ocho Rios and Discovery Bay the lagoon has phospholuminescent plankton and at night you if you throw pebbles it trails to the bottom with light and you can see the fish darting about underneath. You can rent row-boats to go out on it an when we went on a clear night it was as if you were suspended in space because of all the clear stars above reflected on the water and the light from the boat splashing and fish. Very beautiful experience. I think there are other places in the world with similar bodies of water (i.e. in the movie "The Beach") but this is a little known place in Jamaica that is unique.
