Clarendon travel guide

Where to stay

May Pen is the parish capital and the practical base — an hour from Kingston on Highway 2000 and central to everything in Clarendon. Milk River is the wellness corner, built around the mineral bath. Rocky Point and Jackson Bay are fishing-village coast, and Frankfield climbs north into cool citrus and coffee country.

Getting around

Fly into Norman Manley International (KIN) — about an hour to May Pen on Highway 2000 — or Sangster (MBJ) at roughly 2.5 hours. Rent a car: Clarendon is a wide agricultural parish and its best spots are spread far apart.

Food & nightlife

Curry goat and mannish water at May Pen market, fresh fish at Rocky Point and Jackson Bay, Denbigh show-ground food fairs in season, and low-key country bars rather than clubs.
