Introducing Morant Bay

Morant Bay, the only town of importance along the south coast, squats on a hill behind the coast road. Most of the town’s early colonial-era buildings were burned in the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865, led by the town’s national hero, Paul Bogle, but a couple of gems remain.

October 11 is Paul Bogle Day, when a party is held in the town square and a 10km road race sets out from Stony Gut.
