About the neighbourhood
Norse Hill is the largest estate in the Port Antonio area; it is a very secure, gated estate. Frenchman's Cove is five minutes away or an easy stroll down from the property.

But these days the port offers fishermen the opportunity to try their skill in the renowned deep sea fishing waters around Jamaica. The Port Antonio International Marlin Tournament is held every Sept/October. Not a sport fisherman? The Port Antonio Golf Course is also a bird sanctua...
