Kingston Jamaica is the capital and largest city of Jamaica. It is located on the southeastern coast of the island country and it faces a natural harbour protected by the Palisadoes, a long sand spit which connects Port Royal and the Norman Manley International Airport to the rest of the island.

Two parts make up the central area of Kingston: the historic Downtown, and New Kingston, which is home to the city's most visited attraction, the Bob Marley Museum (built at his former residence). Several other reggae stars, including Buju Banton, Sean Paul and Beenie Man, also hail from Kingston Jamaica. Other attractions include the nearby Hellshire and Lime Cay Jamaica beaches, the National Gallery of Jamaica, the ruins of Port Royal, and Devon House, a mansion with adjoining park that once belonged to Jamaica's first black millionaire.

Kingston Jamaica is served by Norman Manley International Airport and also by the smaller and primarily domestic Tinson Pen Airport.
