BOSTON BAY - PORTLAND
KIN
ABOUT BOSTON BAY - PORTLAND
Boston Bay is where jerk was born - the beachside smoke pits here set the benchmark the rest of the world has been chasing ever since, on a beach that also happens to be Jamaica's unofficial surf capital.
WHERE TO STAY
Hotel Mockingbird Hill, perched on a hillside above Port Antonio, brings eco-boutique credibility with just 10 rooms and a National Geographic listing. Zion Country operates a wellness eco-retreat in the Long Bay rainforest. Boston Bay Beach Cottages offers budget beachside living steps from the jerk pits.
Coral Cay Beach Resort Villas provides more polished waterfront accommodation at Long Bay. Long Bay stretches east - a mile of wild, windswept sand with a bohemian community of budget accommodation and eco-retreats.
THINGS TO DO
The original jerk stands at Boston Bay are essential - pimento wood smoke, scotch bonnet heat, and decades of tradition. Surfing and body surfing draw board riders to waves the north coast rarely produces. Sacred Nanny Falls - named for National Heroine Nanny of the Maroons - rewards hikers with a waterfall steeped in Jamaican resistance history.
