Fare is simple but scrumptious. Kingston is perhaps the most historic city in Jamaica. Just east is Port Royal. Once it was wealthy and decadent, the home of pirates and royalty. It is said that hardy snorkelers can see the remnants that lay a mere 30 feet beneath the water.
Local resorts sponsor scuba and glass bottom boat tours.
The capital of Jamaica was moved to Kingston. The center of town has a very British layout of grids. The rest of the city is a labyrinth of streets and alleys. Music has a strong presence in Kinston and this is in fact the city where Bob Marley learned to make his glorious music. Trenchtown where Marley resided is situated around a large drainage trench, hence the name.
