Blackriver

This port used to be one of the busiest towns in Jamaica, bringing all sorts of produce downriver for shipping out. It is still a busy fishing port with a revived tourism business. From here one can hire boats to go upriver into the Morass and find all sorts of plant and birdlife including crocodiles!
