Port Antonio
Port Antonio. The towns twin harbours, jewel blue sea and
verdant hillsides still ensnare the visitor. The story of this old
port is the story of men who came, saw, and were conquered by its
beauty. All of them, from Captain Lorenzo Dow Baker to movie star
Errol Flynn and billionaire Garfield Weston sought to develop the
town. All of them failed. Port Antonio, like Montego Bay, claims to
be the cradle of the tourist trade, but unlike other resorts in the
island, its tourism potential remains undeveloped and undamaged.
And therein lies Port Antonios charm, and the lure of the parish of
Portland.
