Introducing Savanna-la-Mar

Savanna-la-Mar is the largest town in western Jamaica and the capital of Westmoreland parish. ‘Sav, ’ as it is locally known, offers few attractions.

Sav is virtually a one-street town. Its axis is 2km-long Great George St. It was founded around 1730 and grew modestly as a sugar-shipping port during the colonial era. It has an unremarkable history except where Mother Nature is concerned, as numerous hurricanes have swept the town.
