Port Antonio
Port Antonio – located on the northeast coast of Jamaica, Port Antonio was a sleepy town until the late 1800s, when the banana trade began to boom and drove the local economy. Tourism gradually took hold here, with initial help by Hollywood actor Errol Flynn during the 1940s, and later by other prominent figures such as Randolph Hearst, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Brooke Shields, Raquel Welch, Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington, Linda Evans, Sharon Stone, and Grace Jones. Port Antonio’s eclectic heritage and majestic landscapes make it the perfect destination for travelers seeking an authentic Jamaica.
