The Blue Lagoon is a small, deep cove on the north-east coast of Jamaica in Portland parish, about 7 km east of the town of Port Antonio in a straight line, closed in on every side by green forest. It took its current name after the success of the 1980 film The Blue Lagoon, part of which was shot in the area. Sources put its depth at between 50 and 60 metres, and freshwater springs enter it at around 40 metres down, mixing with the salt water of the sea. Thanks to that mix and the depth, the water shifts through the day from deep blue to emerald green with the light, and overhanging trees are reflected on its surface. Visitors come to swim and to ride wooden boats and bamboo rafts, and mornings are quieter, before the groups arrive. Other beaches along the same coast, such as Frenchman's Cove, make it easy to fill a day out from Port Antonio.
