📍 Destination Overview
Port Antonio, capital of Jamaica's Portland Parish on the north-east coast, is the island's most serene, least commercialised retreat. Blue Lagoon is famed for its deep blue pool, its hue shifting with the tide. Frenchman's Cove pairs white sand with a tropical garden, and Reach Falls can be climbed to its source. Boston Bay is a birthplace of Jamaican jerk.
