Jamaica - Port Antonio & Northeast Coast (Chapter)

This is the Port Antonio & Northeast Coast chapter from Lonely Planet’s Jamaica guidebook.

Forested mountains with deep gorges and rushing rivers spread their fingers towards fringes of white sand and cool blue surf that rolls into beach-lined coves. The folks are friendly, the hustle comparatively small. The only drawback is the constant rain but that’s what keeps the parish green and gorgeous.
