Moon Author's Review
Immediately west of Kingston, past the wharves and across the causeway is Portmore, a bedroom community supporting the overflow from the burgeoning corporate area. As the causeway meets land on the St. Catherine side of the water, Fort Augusta sits on a point overlooking the harbor.
Portmore consists mainly of private and government-sponsored housing developments, with Jamworld Entertainment Centre and Caymanas Park horse-racing track on its northern side, reached by taking a right on the Portmore Parkway when coming off the bridge. Jamworld is the site for Reggae Sting, an annual show held on Boxing Day that never ceases to cause a stir. Accommodations in Portmore consist exclusively of hourly-rate joints, some of them dodgier than others.
