Landmark

Port Antonio sits on the wet eastern end of Jamaica, backed by the Blue Mountains and the Rio Grande valley. Bamboo rafting on the river, the Blue Lagoon and a string of small beaches make up the draw, with far fewer visitors than Negril or Montego Bay. Rain is frequent, which is what keeps the area so green.
