About Port Antonio

Port Antonio is widely considered Jamaica’s most beautiful town — a twin-harbour jewel in the lush mountains of Portland on the island’s northeast coast. Once the banana export capital of the world and a favourite retreat of Errol Flynn, Port Antonio never succumbed to mass tourism, preserving an authentic, unhurried atmosphere that draws discerning travellers seeking something genuinely different. The Blue Lagoon, made famous by the 1980 film, sits just south of town — a circular pool of mineral-fed water that shifts from deep sapphire to turquoise depending on the light. Portland is also the wettest parish in Jamaica, giving it the lushest, most spectacular vegetation on the island.
