The capital city of Jamaica, Kingston, is a wonderful beach destination, especially because of its location right on the island country’s southeastern coast. This city is also known for being the home of Bob Marley, and Kingston’s Bob Marley Museum pays tribute to this legendary singer. Kingston also offers many Airbnb vacation rentals where you can stay to savor some authenticity. Additionally, when you’re visiting the city, you can hike up the Blue Mountains and witness outstanding waterfalls and rock formations. If you simply want a laid-back stroll, you can hang out at Emancipation Park. Kingston’s surrounding areas also offer something exciting. Enjoy relaxing on Fort Clarence Beach or pamper yourself in a resort that offers various perks. For a good time, check out these top all-inclusive resorts near Kingston, Jamaica.

Popular clubs in Kingston

With how hard wound reggae is with Kingston’s identity, it should come as no surprise that the city offers great clubs where you can enjoy a cocktail while vibing to great music. You shouldn’t miss out on this integral part of Jamaican culture, so here are a few of the most famous clubs in Kingston that I would definitely check out if I’m in the city:

  • Janga’s Sound Bar & Grill: The perfect place to unwind party in the evenings, Janga’s Sound Bar & Grill offers new tunes and old classics that you can vibe to while relishing drinks made of the best Jamaican rum. The club even offers theme nights with inclusions such as a free oyster bar, beer bucket specials, and all-nighter games. It might be a great place to make friends if you’re new to the city.

  • Kingston Dub Club: Oozing an element of exclusivity, Kingston Dub Club is open just on Sundays and has an informal air. The club is part of the Reggae Revival movement in the city and invites local and international artists who are prevalent in the genre, and who knows, you might get lucky and run into your favorite artist over a drink at their bar.
