Port Antonio Things To Do

The Blue Lagoon

Imagine a virgin forest that seems to plunge into a bright blue-green sheet of water. This is the Blue Lagoon, even called Blue Hole. The lagoon is about 64 metres deep, but for the romantic souls it is without end.

Address: About 5 kilometers east Port Antonio

	Winnifred beach. Tip Rating:

Updated By morgr

Winnifred beach.

About 8 or 10km east of Port Antonio is Winnifred beach. You couldn't make a better choice in choosing a beach in the Port A area to spend the day at.

Though Winnifred is technically a public beach, and hence should be free of charge, I came across a fellow claiming that he cleans the beach and I should pay him to get in. If you meet such a person, whether or not to pay him is up to you. I chose to, as he was twice my size, and it seemed an appropriate way to rid myself of worthless small change.

If you are hitching or taking a taxi from Port Antonio, they will drop you off on the main road, a short walk from the beach. You go down and walk on a gravel road, through a small community called Fairy Hill, until the road makes a sharp right. Continue strait off the road and down a little path that will lead you to the beach.

The beach included a changing room, a drink stand (of sorts), some people making and selling stew as well as people selling silly *** like seashells.

Directions: About 8 or 10km east of Port Antonio. Just under a small community called Fairy Hill.

	New waterfront. Tip Rating:

Port Antonio new waterfront.

Port Antonio has a newly redesigned waterfront area complete with benches, walkways and spaces to park yaghts. It is a nice quite place to take a short stroll or eat some lunch. When I was in Port A. there was no restaurant on the waterfront, but apparently a nice seafood restaurant called Norma's has recently opened here (thanks Island_luv for info). The other option would be to bring a picnic lunch.

Also, as with seemingly every other park area in Jamaica, there are no ashtrays. Please don't through your butts on the ground or in the water, put them out on your foot then use the trash bin.

Directions: Um...where the water meets the land.

Frenchman's Cove is a small bay with a beautiful white beach and a little river sorrounded by a garden that looks like a jungle. Here you can sunbathe hearing the chirp of birds.

Frenchman's Cove

Frenchman's Cove: the nature all around looks like a paradise, so my husband and I felt like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (unfortunately just for a moment!!).

	A beautiful tropical garden Tip Rating:

In the tropical garden of Frenchman's Cove there are many trees, the same little plants that I try to grow with difficulty at home. I wondered to see them so big in their habitat.

	Titchfeild Hill

View from house on Titchfeild

One hundred years ago (give or take) Titchfeild peninsula used to be an exclusive gated community for the wealthy. These days though the houses on Titchfeild peninsula are old and run down, as illustrated in the opposite picture. Up here you will find several guesthouses, including the one we stayed at, Ivanhoes. As well, a tiny military base and a highschool set on the ruins of an old British fort.

This picture was taken from a window of a house on Titchfeild. It is looking east across the, apply enough titled, east harbour and to Folly Point in the distance.

	Hiking in the mountains

In the mountains

The mountains around Port Antonio not only provide for a spectacular backdrop to the city, but they make a great place to get away from the city too.

Spend a day and hike in the mountains and take off a little weight you may have put on by just lazing on the beaches all day :-P
