Craft Village

Port Antonio


This wooden complex facing Fisherman's Beach on the main road has a series of small huts, each with craftspeople selling carved wood, jewelry, T-shirts and other tourist paraphernalia. There are a couple of good places to eat here as well, for post-shopping refreshments.
