Moon Author's Review
The region east of Port Antonio is dominated by the John Crow Mountains, which run northwest to southeast and butt up against the Blue Mountains, where they meet with steep slopes falling down to the sea near Hector’s River. The John Crow Mountains are some of the less-traversed territory on the island, and even the coast in the area, which varies from fine sandy beaches to windswept bluffs, sees few visitors. A few minutes’ drive east of Port Antonio, Boston is a quiet community that is said to be the original home of jerk. Long Bay is the area’s predominant tourist strip, though it only has a handful of budget accommodations serving a trickle of backpackers and adventurous travelers.
