Columbus Park - Located in the town of Discovery Bay, Columbus Park is a historical site originally named Puerto Seco (“Dry Harbour”) by Christopher Columbus in 1494 when he and his crew arrived on the island. It is believed they initially struggled to find fresh water, but eventually discovered a source about 5 miles west, which they named Rio Bueno (“Good River”) due to its quality. In 1947, the town was renamed Discovery Bay, marking the spot where Columbus and the Spanish first landed on May 4, 1494. The park features various relics and artifacts, offering a brief stop for photos and a glimpse into the town’s rich history.

Nine Miles - Bob Marley, born on February 6th, 1945, and passing on May 11th, 1981, is celebrated in the small town of Nine Miles. This village in the hills of St. Ann is a must-visit for tourists from Ocho Rios, Falmouth, Montego Bay, and even Negril. Nine Miles is not only Marley’s birthplace but also his final resting place.
Though Marley moved to Kingston at 13 to live with his mother and pursue his music career, he frequently returned to Nine Miles to escape the hustle of city life. It was here in St. Ann that he wrote many of his hit songs, as it always remained his true home.
To fully appreciate Bob Marley’s legacy, a visit to Nine Miles is essential. The tour offers insights into his life and the community, which remains much like it was during his early years. A Rastafarian guide will accompany visitors, providing information and answering questions.
Visitors can see Marley’s first home and the bed he used as a child and adult during his visits. The rock he used as a pillow is also present, and many guests report feeling his presence. The Nine Mile Tour includes his birth and resting place, his favorite activities, and Mount Zion, where he found inspiration for his music. The nearby Ethiopian church, where he was laid to rest with his guitar, is also part of the tour. Visitors are asked to remove their shoes as a sign of respect before entering and are welcome to explore.
