In the 1940s, Errol Flynn sailed here. He left his heart behind. In the heady jet-set 1950s and 60s, royals and aristos, celebrities and eccentrics, adventurers all, flocked here for the winter party season.

A favorite of movie makers from The
Blue Lagoon to Cocktail to The Mighty Quinn and Lord
of the Flies, Port Antonio is now sleepy, a secret
getaway, without all-inclusive resorts. It's relatively
unknown -- except to weekending Kingstonians in-the-know
who come here for its lush, green, primeval, intoxicatingly
natural vibe...
Bring your camera and your sense
of adventure. Beyond Belmont's private beach club
membership at San San -- a one minute stroll down
the hillside -- there's another world to explore:
Somerset Falls, the Rio Grande, coffee plantations
in the Blue Mountains, a fairytale castle, an infamous
folly, Boston Bay for surfing and spicy jerk pork,
Devon House stout or guava ice cream at the Errol
Flynn Marina, janga or river crayfish at Norma's.
No water slides,
no dolphin rides, no "hip strip".
No rent-a-dreads, no spring breakers, no lager louts.
No could-be-anywhere mega chain hotels.
If your idea of vacation is slowing down, relaxing
and rejuvenating your sense of wonder,
Port Antonio never disappoints.
