Why Visit Port Royal?

Port Royal is billed as having been the richest and wickedest city in the world due in large part to the presence of pirates. All this is absolutely true but much of the charm of Port Royal lies not in stories of Henry Morgan (who by the way, was no joke), but in modern day activity. Port Royal is situated at the tip of a peninsula in the middle of the sea and has a very rural, small town flavour, unexpected given its proximity to greater Kingston but explained by its relative isolation. It's a place known for its safety record so you can freely wander, and everyone in the town of maybe 1500 people, knows everybody.  There's usually a domino game taking place some where and the fishing boats bob on the water in the background. To get the history of the place a visit to the Maritime Museum at Fort Charles is in order and you can top it off with a meal at Gloria's, a popular seafood restaurant. In the mood for a swim? Hire a fishing boat and head to Lime Cay, a sandy island off the coast of Jamaica. Port Royal has a sense of history in a modern day slow rhythm Caribbean setting that's curious and hard to replicate.
