Jamaica Swamp Safari Village was initially established in 1969 as a crocodile farm by an American, Ross Heilman aka Ross Kananga. Over time, Ross acquired other wild animals including a lion, and a pair of black leopards and he eventually began to welcome tour groups for daily shows. The farm would go on to earn notoriety as the location for the famous crocodile jumping escape in the 1972 James Bond film Live and Let Die. An interesting fact is that the actual crocodile jumping stunt was performed by Ross Kananga and the movie’s villain was named after him. Legend has it that the movie producers drove by Ross Kananga’s farm while on the island scouting for locations and became intrigued by a sign which read “Trespassers Will Be Eaten”. The rest as they say is history.

Not more than a ten minute drive from Silver Sands, going West towards Falmouth, is the area known as Stewart Castle. Most Jamaicans have no idea why the area is called Stewart Castle. Some have heard something about the ruins of a castle there. Very few have ever been there to see the ruins themselves.
Stewart Castle is a designated Jamaica National Heritage Trust site.
The ruins of Stewart Castle are easily accessible from the North Coast highway and well worth a visit. It started as a sugar plantation built with slave lbour in the mid 1750s and expanded considerably over the years. The owners were very aware of their vulnerability and concerned for their saftey, making the rectangular cut-stone mansion a virtual fortress, able to withstand a siege.

Named for the green algae that cover its walls, the Green Grotto Caves is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in St. Ann. In touring the cave, you will be sure to see majestic stalactites, stalagmites, and other exquisite dripstone formations. The innermost cavern contains a crystal-clear underground lake, while on the outside, you can throw a coin and make a wish in the wishing well.
The caverns are home to bats and marine life, and over the centuries they’ve been a hideout for fugitives and runaway slaves.

This cave is called by many names - Duncans Cave, Arawak Cave, Cave of Refuge, and Johnson's Pen Cave. We shall call it Johnson's Pen Cave as that is the name used by the Jamaican Caves Organisation.
Johnson's Pen Cave should be a must-do experience for anyone visitng Silver Sands Jamaica, because it is located less than a five minute drive away. But not many people know about it. It is not promoted because it is not a licenced attraction or tour by the Jamaica Tourist Board. There is no sign, no facilities and no entry fee as it is totally undeveloped (although there is evidence on site that someone once attempted development).
