Details About Falmouth

Destinations » Caribbean » Caribbean - Western » Falmouth


Step off the ship and step back in time. Time where quaint wooden houses lined the streets, village carpenters hand craft custom furniture, and tavern keepers warmly greet town guests. Falmouth Jamaica is often compared with Colonial Williamsburg, but this particular historic town comes with an advantage - the beautiful Caribbean Sun. You'll return with sun kissed skin, timeless memories as well as interesting historical tidbits to share with friends, like this one: Falmouth received piped water before New York City.

Attractions

Take a stroll through Falmouth's Historic District and explore an impressive collection of nineteenth-century Georgian architecture. Many of the buildings are still intact and renown for their unique gingerbread woodwork. From small wooden houses to brick Georgian mansions to plantation complexes, here you'll find yourself on a delightful excursion of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Activities

Visit the Greenwood Great House museum, and you'll find yourself in the middle of the 19th century. Music and history lovers alike will be enchanted by the Caribbean's finest antique collection as well as a large and rare collection of musical instruments. Venice may have its gondolas, but Falmouth has 30-foot bamboo rafts that offer romantic and adventurous rides on the Martha Brae River. Sit back and relax as a raft captain guides you through an exceptional view of the island's tropical scenery. See the Luminous Lagoon. The name might sound like a dance club, but this location is far from your average nightspot. The Lagoon is a natural phenomenon with microscopic organisms that illuminate the water. Evening tour boats can guide you through these waters, or you can take a dip and watch your skin take on a neon glow.

Shopping

The pulse of this city radiates from the heart of Water Square where you'll discover the Albert George Shopping and Historical center. The local craftwork will put the culture right in your hands, and the friends and family you bring gifts to back home. Wednesday morning was made for the most dedicated shoppers, as dealers fill the stalls with native produce and gifts you won't find anywhere else you journey.

Currency

Jamaican dollar (JMD), U.S. dollars, traveler's checks and credit cards are widely accepted.
