Lucea
About Lucea
Lucea is the quiet, historic capital of Hanover — Jamaica’s second-smallest parish by size. The town sits on a protected natural harbour and was once one of Jamaica’s most prosperous sugar export ports. Its most dramatic landmark is Fort Charlotte, a Georgian-era fortification perched above the harbour with commanding views of the coastline. Lucea is also famous as Jamaica’s yam capital — the Lucea yam is internationally renowned for its quality — and the area hosts a lively annual Yam Festival. Just a 20-minute drive from Montego Bay’s airport and close to the exclusive Tryall Club, Lucea is increasingly attracting real estate interest from buyers seeking value in western Jamaica’s growing tourism corridor.
