History:
One of the most picturesque natural harbors in the Caribbean, Discovery Bay was renamed in 1947 to commemorate the place where it was once thought that Christopher Columbus first set foot on Jamaican soil. Discovery Bay is home to Columbus Park, an open-air museum facility featuring various Columbian and Colonial artefacts.
Since Columbus, many others have discovered the beauty of Discovery Bay, and over the years a small town has developed around the bay area. On one side of the bay lies the Kaiser Bauxite Company's wharf and Columbus Park, which overlooks the azure cove from the western end. On the other side are various private homes, resorts and the family-oriented Puerto Seco beach, whose pristine white sand and relaxing appeal can only be described as breathtaking.
Local Flavor:
All the artefacts on display at Columbus Park in Discovery Bay were recovered by the Kaiser Bauxite Company in the process of excavating in and around the Discovery Bay/St Ann area. These artefacts include a section of a sugar estate aqueduct, 18th century cannons, sugar boiling coppers and a lime mill.
Famous For:
Once, it was thought that Discovery Bay was the place that Columbus first landed in Jamaica, and that was the town's claim to fame. Today, historians have proven otherwise, but Discovery Bay can now hold its own as a charming town resting on the edge of an exquisite notch of the Jamaican coastline.
Don't Miss:
An afternoon at Puerto Seco is certainly in order for any visit to Discovery Bay. The beach is well developed, with a small jetty, a playground with rides for children of all ages, a family restaurant and a bar for adults. The water is a brilliant turquoise and shallow for about20 feet out to sea, but do carry or rent snorkelling equipment for a glimpse at another side of Jamaica.
