JAMWEST Jamaica’s Best Attraction
“AMAZING”, “EPIC”, “time well spent”, and “money well spent” are some of the descriptions visitors to Jamwest Motorsports and Adventure Park give of their experience at the Westmoreland-based attraction, winner of the RJRGLEANER Hospitality Jamaica’s Best Attraction award.
Jamwest is a complete, authentically Jamaican attraction providing memorable experiences for not only thrill seekers but even the most laid-back of visitors.
Ranked as one of the top 15 locations for outdoor activities in Negril, the attraction was initially established in 2003 as the Jamwest Speedway and featured racing on a quarter-mile drag strip.
Jamwest is located less than half an hours’ drive from the resort town of Negril and is not only home to the largest speedway in the west but is the only drag and circuit tracks in the Caribbean, offering an ‘arrive and drive’ experience in which drivers can drive a race car and go for top speeds.
In addition to the Jamwest Speedway driving experience, the facility boasts an ATV tour that takes visitors through some of Jamaica’s most beautiful lowland terrain and down to the azure Caribbean Sea. It also offers a racing zip line, horseback, riding and rock climbing.
For the less adventurous, there is the opportunity to take a dip in the cool, crisp waters of the mineral bath, plunge into the pool from the extreme water slide, or visit the petting zoo. Not to be forgotten is that the property also has the distinction of being home to the largest goat farm in Jamaica.
The non-racing offerings at the facility encircle the Jamwest Speedway, which comprises spectator stands; parking for race cars; control towers; and other supporting buildings, including a clubhouse with restaurant, bar, and gift shop and an administrative building with a nurse’s station and rest area, making Jamwest the complete attraction. |
