Known for its crystal clear water, Blue Lagoon and its surrounding gardens have been declared a national monument by the Jamaican government. The water changes color dramatically during the course of the day. Although people refer to it as bottomless, the lagoon is about 180 ft/55 m deep. You can swim in the lagoon, but keep in mind the waters can get very cool. The film The Blue Lagoon was set there. The deep, clear waters in front of the adjacent villas are great for snorkeling. On the A4 (5 mi/8 km east of the main plaza), Port Antonio.
