Photo of the Week: The Blue Lagoon in Port Antonio, Jamaica

The Blue Lagoon in Port Antonio, Jamaica is among the most beautiful natural attractions of the Island. So much so, that it has been used in the filming of several movies; most notably, the Brooke Shields movie "The Blue Lagoon". With its change of colors from azure blue to deep emerald, to sapphire and turquoise, the ‘Blue Hole’, as it is also known locally, is absolutely mesmerizing. It is 200 feet deep and fed by underground fresh water springs as well as connected to the Caribbean Sea, making for a thoroughly refreshing swim. Though its beauty is exotic, it is not remote. Located just seven miles east of Port Antonio, it is convenient and easy to get to by car.
