Travel Guide Boston Bay

As far as the eye can see around Boston Bay, the land belonged to Errol Flynn, the Hollywood star who fell in love with Jamaica and especially the Portland area when his sailboat sank. He was the driving force behind the development of local tourism and bought huge properties that he transformed into farms and livestock farms, where he retired after a busy film career, and which his widow still manages today.Boston is a big town known, on the one hand, for its gastronomy and, on the other, for its sports.On the food side, the Boston Style Jerk... quite a program! Boston is famous all over the island for being the cradle of jerk, this cooking method inherited from the Maroon. It is here that the Maroons cooked game meat, copiously spiced, on grills made of pimento branches, the tree that provides cinnamon pepper. Many stands sell jerk meat by weight, wrapped in aluminum foil and eaten with the fingers alone.On the sports side, Boston is known for its big rollers that attract surfers. The small beach is pretty with a wilder character than its neighbors. Lovers of idleness and calm seas will prefer Winnifred beach in the neighboring village of Fairy Hill, 3 km from Boston Bay, one of the most idyllic in the region. To reach it, take the main road and turn at a basket maker's shop.
