The Basics

Gorgeously scenic and steeped in history, Columbus Park overlooking Discovery Bay is a favorite place for travelers to enjoy a picnic. Walk among the ruins and artifacts telling the island’s history; there’s a canoe made by the indigenous Arawak people, nautical relics, the last steam locomotive used by the Jamaica Railway Corporation, an intact section of an old sugar estate aqueduct, and 18th-century cannons. Bring a swimsuit to take a dip in the bay, or at one of the white sand beaches on the east side of the bay.

Travelers can experience Columbus Park and other island attractions as part of half- or full-day private or group tours leaving from Montego Bay, Runaway Bay, or Grand Palladium. Some tours include lunch or a shopping excursion.
