What's the best route from Kingston to Port Antonio? The scenic ‘Junction Road’ of course! Constant Spring Road takes you out of town and across the border into the parish of St Mary and over to the lush landscape of Port Antonio in under 2 hours. To leave town, Constant Spring Road becomes Stony Hill Road and then the A3 Junction Road, a winding, riverside route that is the main route between Kingston and Annotto Bay on the North Coast. To the left of Junction Road is the river, and to the right is the Blue Mountains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring 1000s of acres of biodiversity.
Inside the park is Blue Mountain Peak, the highest on the island, rising to an altitude of 7,402 feet! While still on the junction Road, the town of Junction announces that you are close to the North Coast, about fifteen or twenty minutes from Annotto Bay. The first sign of a communuty since entering St Mary, Junction Village is just a brief snapshot of shops and people. At the Annotto Bay roundabout turn right onto A4, keeping Blue Mountain National Park on your right, and continue on the beach road for another 90 minutes until you reach Port Antonio.
