Airports and ports near St. Mary

Ian Fleming International Airport is in Boscobel, about 15 kilometres east of Ocho Rios. It serves the north-coast area, including Oracabessa and Port Maria. Port Maria is about 10 to 15 kilometres by road from the airport, depending on your route and destination point. See Ian Fleming International Airport for airport information.

Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay and Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston are outside St. Mary. They serve broader air-service networks, but your road distance will depend on the town you are travelling to and current road conditions.

Buses, coaches and route taxis

Knutsford Express serves St. Mary from two locations: Paulwell’s Texaco Gas Station in Annotto Bay and Green Life Llanrumney Farm at Buccaneers Jerk Center in Port Maria. Confirm departure times, destinations, fares, ticket availability and operating days directly with Knutsford Express.

Route taxis and rural stage carriages connect Port Maria, Annotto Bay, Highgate, Oracabessa, Gayle and Guys Hill with surrounding settlements. A route taxi carries passengers paying separate fares along a designated route. The Transport Authority identifies route taxis by red PPV plates, route markings and a black-and-white checked side strip. Its fares are published in Jamaican dollars by origin and destination, with amounts rounded to the nearest five dollars.

Main roads

The North Coast Highway links coastal communities around Port Maria, Oracabessa and Boscobel with Ocho Rios and Portland. Interior and southern trips use corridors including Junction Road, Broadgate to Agualta Vale, and Highgate to Guys Hill to Rio Nuevo. Roadworks, weather and traffic can affect travel time, so allow extra time for connections between coastal and rural communities. Check NWA road information before setting out.

Before you travel

Carry Jamaican cash for local route taxis and rural buses, and confirm the payment method with the specific operator. Ask about the first and last departure for your route. If you land at Ian Fleming International Airport, arrange the separate connection to Port Maria, Oracabessa or another St. Mary destination.
