Main roads

The northern coastal road links Buff Bay and Port Antonio across a section identified by the National Works Agency as about 26 km. The eastern corridor runs from Port Antonio through Boston Bay, Long Bay and Manchioneal toward Morant Bay and St Thomas.

Roads also connect the coast with Buff Bay Valley, Moore Town, Nonsuch, Rio Grande and other inland districts. Distances and travel times vary with the destination, road conditions and mountain-valley sections. The proposed Port Antonio Bypass remains a project under development, not an operating highway.

Before you travel

Carry Jamaican dollars for local transport and confirm accepted payment methods before departure. For rural districts, confirm the route and destination with the driver before boarding. Route taxis should show red Public Passenger Vehicle plates, route markings, a taxi globe, black-and-white checked side markings and the driver’s identification badge, as described by the Transport Authority.

Local bus and route-taxi schedules can vary, especially outside ordinary daytime periods. Confirm late or early service directly with the operator, and confirm loading points in Buff Bay, Boston Bay, Manchioneal and Port Antonio before setting out.
