Water is generally safe to drink from faucets throughout the island, except in the most far-flung rural regions. It is safest, however, to stick with bottled water, which is widely available. Itโs a good idea to avoid ice, particularly that sold at street stands as โbellywash,โ โsnoconesโ or โskyjuiceโ โ shaved-ice cones sweetened with fruit juice. Unless youโre certain that the local water is not contaminated, you shouldnโt drink it. In Jamaicaโs backwaters, clean your teeth with purified water rather than tap water.
