James Bond Beach
Fans of 007 will not want to miss a visit to James Bond Beach,
where the 1962 film
Dr. Nolaunched the career of Sean Connery. The
pristine stretch of sugary white sand, surrounded by lush mountains
and lapping crystalline waters, is located just 20 minutes from
Ochos Rios and is a great place to escape the crowds. Those looking
for a bit of excitement should catch a 'waverunner' tour, which
takes 007 fans past the famous Golden Eye villa, where Ian Fleming
wrote the James Bond novels. When you've had your fill of the
beach, head over to the nearby Moonraker Jamaican Bar & Grill
for a bite to eat.

Language
The official language of Jamaica is English but a local
patois is also spoken, a mixture of English, Spanish, and various
African languages.
Money
The Jamaican Dollar (JMD) is divided into 100 cents. The island
is well supplied with ATMs, banks and bureaux de change. Banking
hours are usually Monday to Thursday from 9am to 2pm, and Friday
from 9am to 4pm. Cambio exchange offices are found throughout the
country, open later than banks and often offering better exchange
rates. Retain receipts as proof of legal currency exchange.
Exchange bureaux at the airports and hotels also offer better rates
than banks. Major credit cards and travellers cheques are widely
accepted. Both cash and travellers cheques are best taken in US
Dollars.
