Palisadoes (port.) – wąskie tombolo będące naturalną ochroną przystani Kingston na Jamajce.
Na Palisadoes znajduje się międzynarodowy port lotniczy Kingston-Norman Manley a także historyczne miasto Port Royal. Na tamtejszym cmentarzu został pochowany walijski bukanier Henry Morgan, lecz jego grób został pochłonięty przez morze w czasie trzęsienia ziemi w 1692[1].

Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
