The once famed ‘city of pirates’ has now become a hotspot yet again! For ships that will sail the high seas and dock in our ports, but this time instead of pirates, tourists will come ashore. To embark on adventures throughout the town; sightseeing the ports, water sports activities, and the house that makes you feel ‘Giddy’ due to its lopsided structure. At the end of an eventful day, one can eat from the best seafood restaurant on the island; Gloria’s Rendezvous.
Port Royal was once the largest city in the Caribbean, but due to an overly devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami, 66 percent of the city lies under the sea. Some say it was divine retribution for being the “wickedest city on Earth ” with its wealthy attributes (mostly illegal), loose morals, and overall sinful ways. Movies romanticized the events that took place in the 17th century such as Pirates of the Caribbean which places Port Royal, Jamaica in its midst. Where scallywags abounded our shores searching for buried treasure while pillaging the towns. Though mysterious and exciting, the movie blurred the lines of factual events.
Fortunately what’s left of it still stands to tell the tales well over 500 years old. The locals being the proprietors of these stories will depart their versions of it to visitors both near and far. The time capsule of a city displays its architectural treasures of such historical importance to everyone that sets foot on our shores. Surely, leaving viewers with stunning reviews, making it a top rated travel ‘must see’.
The air of mystery and fascination surrounding the village makes it incredibly popular. This area serves as a landmark for a beautiful, historical destination to learn about our past, make new memories with family and friends, and create meaningful bonds with the island itself. The first ship is slated to have docked in January 2020 and the rest will follow as the year progresses which promises to be an eventful one for the town of Port Royal.
