Nature, Heritage and Adventure
Jamaica's South Coast
Centred on Black River and St. Elizabeth, the South Coast is known for farmland, rivers, waterfalls and authentic rural Jamaica — different in character from the north coast resorts.
History & cultural background
St. Elizabeth is often called Jamaica’s breadbasket for its farming. Agriculture remains a way of life across the parish.
Black River was once a busy port, and in the early 1890s it became one of the first towns in Jamaica with electricity.
