Waterfront restaurants dish out mouthwatering Jamaican seafood while fishing boats bob in the harbour. The peninsula is perfectly walkable, though roads can be narrow. Most visitors day-trip from Kingston since local lodging is limited, but the authentic fishing village vibe makes it worth the journey.
