Getting Here: Maps and Photos
Fly into OCJ or KIN. We recommend renting a car. Crystal Cove is located in the heart of the most beautiful scenery in Jamaica. Nearby are beaches, mountains, waterfalls, caves, rain forests and rafting to explore. With a car you can enjoy them at your own pace. You may hire a driver to do the airport runs, and leave you at the house with your car. Otherwise, our favourite driver from Port Antonio can pick you up at the airports, from $150-$350 per four-person car. From either of these airports, the drive will be two hours. Note that Jamaican roads are winding and narrow, and we drive on the left; but it's fun. Drivers can also of course take you on excursions if you prefer not to drive. The maps below in the rotating slide show give you an island overview, the route from Kingston, and local maps showing you the way to Port Antonio from Crystal Cove and some landmarks along the way. There is also a map to Reach Falls.
Airplane or helicopter charters are also available to Port Antonio from Kingston (20 minutes) or Montego Bay (40 minutes). Click on the slideshows below to enlarge images of some of the scenery you will see on your transfer, and show maps.
From the airport.
If you have rented a car, your complimentary Island Car Rentals driver will take you through a winding riverside road in lush river valleys, and along the coast.
May we suggest.
If you'd like to take a little more time (half an hour), tell us, and we'll ask your driver to take you on a side trip through the old and new cities of Kingston: via Port Royal Street through Downtown, up King Street, around Parade, up Duke Street and then Marescaux Road, then over on Oxford Road up Knutsford Boulevard, along Trafalgar Road to Constant Spring and on to Port Antonio. This will take you past centuries-old buildings from Jamaica's past, such as old seaport warehouses, the synagogue, Mico Teachers' College, Devon House, as well as through the modern business district of New Kingston.
Along the way, Boston Beach, Winifred's Beach, Long Bay, and Reach Falls.
Along the way: Frenchman's Cove Beach, the Trident Hotel, the Folly ruin.
Along the way, Boston Beach, Winifred's Beach, Long Bay, and Reach Falls.
Crystal Cove to Reach Falls
The first map shows how a trip to Reach Falls passes several other lovely spots along the way, including Winifred and Boston Beaches - the latter the home of surfing and 'jerk' seasoning in Jamaica, and Long Bay.
Crystal Cove to Port Antonio
The map showing the route to Port Antonio also shows the way to the Errol Flynn Marina and its harbourside esplanade, with the world's prettiest ice cream shop on one end. But the town has many other sights, including a bustling market, the remains of an 18th-century fort, a cenotaph honoring the parish's Word War One dead, examples of traditional island architecture, and quaint, narrow shopping streets.
