Morant Bay Jamaica

Morant Bay is a vibrant, bustling, truly Jamaican city. It is here that you can leave the hassles and haggling of the tourist areas behind and get a taste of a warm welcoming Jamaican town.

Morant Bay is the capital of St. Thomas parish. In front of the courthouse stands a statue of Paul Bogle, national hero, where he died in the unsuccessful Morant Bay Rebellion in 1865.

In the middle of the city is a colorful local market. You can get anything you want, just ask. You can buy rasta knit hats. There are lots of good eateries in and around Morant Bay.

The local taxi stand is right around the corner from Murph's Turf, a very nice old style Jamaican Bar. A good place to enjoy a beer and pick up a taxi to Sunning Hill. This is how you can get to Mokko's. Give him a call and he will meet you, or ask for the taxi to Sunning Hill and they can take you to his guesthouse, Riverside Cool Cottages.

To stay in town you can stay in a Jamaica Villa called Morant Villas, clean, hot and cold running water and right off the main road.
