Saint Ann Parish - Nine Mile is a district in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica, situated a few miles south of Brown’s Town. In 2009, the district had an estimated population of 300. The renowned reggae artist and advocate for peace, Bob Marley, was born in this location on February 6, 1945, and his final resting place is also here.
Bob Marley’s residence is a notable feature of the village, along with his Mausoleum, which is the final resting place for both him and his mother, Cedella Booker. The burial site of Bob Marley is a significant point of interest. Visitors can see the small abode where he spent his childhood, and the modest marble grave that marks his burial site is profoundly touching.

If you consider yourself a true admirer of Bob Marley, you might want to explore his birthplace in Nine Mile, St. Ann’s. The journey is truly adventurous featuring a long drive across the hilly and rocky terrain of St. Ann’s, carved inside the Cockpit Country. It’s almost surreal to realise that such a small, humble village was the birthplace of this extraordinary man. During the tour, you will visit the house where Bob Marley was born and raised, a location marked by a Rasta-coloured painted rock, speculated to be Marley’s favourite spot for songwriting and meditation. Also, you will pay a visit to the final resting place of Bob Marley and his mother, distinctively recognized by above-ground tombs shaped in the likeness of Marley, rather than the traditional below-ground burial method commonly used in the country. This tour promises a memorable, immersive journey into the historical life of the legendary Bob Marley.
