Remember that time when you wanted to travel to the Blue Lagoon, and you ended up in a frozen landscape? (Excuse the travel nerd joke, there’s that other one in Iceland. And if that actually ever did happen, the mishap wouldn’t happen if you booked with Flight Centre!)
Shameless corporate promotion aside, Jamaica’s Blue Lagoon, also known as the Blue Hole, is more bank than beach, but its sheer beauty is worth a mention — and definitely worth a visit. The lagoon’s plunging depth of 60 metres (200 feet) creates its stunning colour, which mystically changes hues of blue with the sun.
Featured in Hollywood films, including one of the same name, the soothing, warm Caribbean Sea feeds the lagoon, as do refreshingly cold streams of fresh water from underground sources.
