St Mary

Jamaica may be one of the island's smallest parish, but it still throws a pretty big punch when it comes to the history of Jamaica as well as places to see.  One of the most frequented attraction is Firefly, home of Noel Coward, a well known British playwright. 


Port Maria is the capital of St. Mary. It's location on the Northern coast of the island makes it a sure target for hurricane and tropical storms, even so it still attracts a fair amount of people seeking to know more about what the area has to offer.
Pictured is the town's Parish Church. It's a most welcoming sight when entering the town of Port Maria.
