Annotto Bay

At one time an important port town for export of the area's annatto crop, from whence it got its name, Annotto Bay is today bustling only by the busy taxi stand in the center of town. Otherwise, sleepy is a good description. Two notable attractions are the unique Baptist Chapel on the main road through town, and the Human Service Station (Emmannuel "Irie" Johnson, cell tel. 876/843-1640), an excellent pit stop on the east side of town that serves great fresh seafood and some of the best fish tea and conch soup in Jamaica.a
