Port Antonio, our way
Port Antonio feels like old Jamaica: a working harbour town surrounded by rainforest, with some of the island's most beautiful swimming spots close by.
It's perfect for couples who want adventure in the morning and a quiet beach in the afternoon.
Don't miss
Blue Lagoon
A deep, cold, impossibly blue swimming spot.
Frenchman's Cove
A small beach where a river meets the sea.
Rio Grande rafting
A slow bamboo-raft ride through the forest.
