A convoy leaves Montego Bay before midmorning; the road tightens into palm-lined lanes and the air smells of salt and pimento. Guides steer you toward a freshwater sink where the water goes impossibly blue—a hollow cut into limestone that dares you to jump, dive, or simply sit on the warm rock. Later the scene opens to a wide Caribbean shallows where horseback trails end in the surf and horses wade like seasoned companions.
