Nestled along the picturesque shores of the Jamaican parish of Saint Mary, Port Maria emerges as a vibrant hub of history and culture. Originally christened “Puerto Santa Maria” by Spanish settlers, it holds the distinction of being the second town established on the island, steeped in centuries of captivating tales and legacies. Overlooking the town, the weathered ruins of Fort Haldane, erected in 1759, stand as silent sentinels, bearing witness to the passage of time and the enduring spirit of the land.
