Jamaica.
Jamaica is an island nation of the Greater Antilles, 234 kilometres in length and as much as 80 kilometres in width, and amounts to 10,990 square kilometres. It is situated in the Caribbean Sea, about 145 kilometres south of Cuba, and 191 kilometres west of Hispaniola, the island harbouring the nation-states Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
The official language of Jamaica is English. Jamaicans primarily speak an English-African Creole language known as Jamaican Patois, which has become known widely through the spread of Reggae music.
Port Antonio is the capital of the parish of Portland on the northeastern coast of Jamaica, about 100 km from Kingston. One popular sight in this area is the Blue Lagoon, Jamaica, which owes its colour to its depth of 200 feet, other sights include the secluded Frenchman's Cove Beach, the ruins of Folly Mansion and the historic DeMontevin Lodge. The Rio Grande River, Boston Bay and Reach Falls are also close by.
