Navy Island
A small island across from the harbor, once said to have belonged to Hollywood star Errol Flynn, with a beach and forest trails.
Navy Island covers about 0.26 square kilometers and divides Port Antonio's harbor into east and west bays. In the 18th century, the British navy operated a dockyard here. Hollywood star Errol Flynn fell in love with Port Antonio in the 1940s and is said to have bought the island, where he once had a holiday house. Today the island is largely abandoned, with small beaches, forest trails, and remnants of old buildings. Small boats can be hired near the Errol Flynn Marina to reach the island; bargain over the price. It suits a half-day of exploring, snorkeling, and picnicking. There are no facilities on the island, so bring your own drinking water and sun protection.
