Jitterbug - Can you clarify what you mean by "local intrusion"? I have heard only excellent things about Winnifred beach. Am I missing something?Originally Posted by JitterBug
We are coming that way in December and are really looking forward to seeing that part of Jamaica.

*Vi* - it took a while but finally finished reading this thread. What a great trip report. My wife and I are travelling to Portland area for a couple weeks at Christmas. It will be my 6th trip to Jamaica, my wifes 4th. We have always gone to Negril but have talked about getting to the Port Antonio area for a change. It's finally going to happen.

sandman, nothing bad at all, love winnifred . . . it's great . . . at times, i just wanted to get away to a quieter spot and be spoiled a little . . . my holidays were spent in local environment and it sure was wonderful to be a tourist, especially at frenchman's, there is service right to your lounge chair. . . . you will enjoy winnifred.
Thank you, thank you, what a beautiful report with fabulous pictures to go with it. I was on this ride from beginning to end and totally enjoyed it. Love Portland but haven't been in years, Frenchman is my spot, love it there, again really enjoyed the ride and could feel your love for Porty.
Aww, sorry to see this trip report end - the pictures were just absolutely beautiful! I know one time when we were in the Portland area, admission to Frenchman's Cove was included as part of the night we spent at a hotel - can't remember if it was when we stayed at San San Tropez or if it was included with Fern Hill. I waded out into the river that goes into the ocean at Frenchman's and was going to sit down on a rock and all of a sudden that "rock" swam away! I jumped about a foot! Not sure if it was a turtle or some kind of a fish.
Thanks for your wonderful report and beautiful pictures,safe travels!!
Oh, my goodness! I've been away for a few days and look at everything I've missed! That beach on the west side of Portie looks wonderful and I had no idea it was there. It looks like it has cookshops along there. So glad you stood up for the young boys, for sure.
The new restaurant at Frenchman's is beautiful. They were only just starting to work on it the last time we were there. They would bring out cooked food from somewhere else and set up for people to enjoy. Actually, they may have had cook pots going and did it there in the open under some awnings. There are even picnic tables, too, wow~ My girls always enjoyed the waves there.
I'm sad to see your journey end but it only so you can begin another. Many blessings to you and thank you so much for this labor of love you've shared with us!
Beautiful, thanks vi!!
I am searching for a name of a cove and if it is possible to get there. The cove is in Long Bay. I have seen pictures of it on ta from personal pictures of guests at Hotel Jamaican Colors. They just call it the cove, or cliff. Take a look at it, absolutely breathtaking! Just wondering if you knew about it or heard anything about it. I really want to see it on my next reach. Maybe only accesable by boat?
Vi, thank you so much for a beautiful report. You are a wonderful writer it's as if I am right there.
Hey Vi... I enjoyed the ride. You gave some insight into new beaches to check out. And thanks for the info on Bath. I don't like public massages either but do enjoy just sitting in the water and reflecting. Maybe you would enjoy firewater in ochie better. Massages are offered but you can decline and they've built a wooden wall around the stream so you can be alone with your thoughts. I will be returning to PA soon..before they get too touristy!
