Fort Haldane
About
Fort Haldane, 1759, on Jamaica, stands at Port Maria on the island's northern coast.
First-time visitors should expect a historic coastal site rather than a managed visitor complex, with the remains tied to the town that grew around them. Visitors give it a rating of 3.9 out of 5 from 16 reviews, a small sample that reflects modest but real interest. Port Maria sits east of Ocho Rios along the north shore.
Reaching the site from the main resort towns means a drive along the northern coastal road, with Ocho Rios the nearest of the well-known stops and Montego Bay, Negril, Falmouth and Port Antonio further afield. Kingston lies across the island to the south, and Spanish Town and Mandeville sit inland.
The Caribbean dry season runs roughly from December to May, when rainfall is lower and the trade winds steady, which suits a coastal visit. Creole languages with French and English roots are spoken widely across the Caribbean alongside official tongues, so visitors may hear both during a trip. Carnival parades are held across the Caribbean, some before Lent and others in the summer months, giving travellers a reason to time a visit around local festivities.
