Port Antonio Guide
Nestled between twin harbors on the island's northeast
curve, where mist-shrouded mountains drop down to the sea,
Port Antonio glows with the green hues of palms and ferns, laced
with the brilliant reds and yellows of its tropical flora. |
The capital of Portland Parish, Port Antonio was Jamaica's
most important center for banana growth and export in the late
1800's. Life moves at a slower pace here than it does
elsewhere on the island, so there is more time to enjoy
swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving in the shimmering Blue
Lagoon, which is fed by freshwater springs and said to
reach a depth of 200 feet (60 meters). A Popular activity
is Rio Grande rafting , a two-hour river cruise on a bamboo raft
built for two.
A trip to Somerset Falls on the Daniels River offers a
refreshing dip in exhilarating waters in a gorge of natural
rock, the rewards of a good on-site restaurant. The waters
around Port Antonio offers some of the best deep-sea fishing off
the coast of Jamaica, with marlin, tuna, kingfish and dolphin in
abundance. |
