About 60 miles front Kingston is Port Antonio, the home of the legendary Blue Lagoon, which was featured in the film (of the same name) that stars Brook Shields. Locals and visitors have been enjoying the healing waters at the Blue Lagoon ever since its discovery in the 1690s. Once thought to be bottomless, divers have now determined its depth to be around 180 feet. Warm currents from the Caribbean Sea enter the lagoon, but the most striking feature is the sublime color, which changes throughout the day from a cloudy blue to sapphire depending on the angle of the sun.
