Jamaica Vacations Resorts

This area is Architecturally significant and historic, the town of Black River is situated at the mouth of the river of the same name. Once a busy seaport which exported logwood, rum, pimento and cattle skins, the town's adventurous river is now alive with visitors aboard tour boats. The largest wetland in Jamaica is habitat for 300 crocodiles in the Black River area.

The Black River is Jamaica's longest at 44 miles. Some 100 species of birds take flight. Visitors might be lucky enough to see the "crocodile dentist," a green-back heron who swoops down to floss the teeth of open mouthed crocodiles.
