What should I pack when moving to Port Antonio?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Port Antonio to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Port Antonio, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a few swimsuits for the beach and water activities. A light jacket or sweater is also recommended for cooler evenings. Pack plenty of sun protection items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat. You should also consider packing insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. If you plan on hiking or exploring the natural parks, consider packing a pair of sturdy hiking boots. Bring along your necessary toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. If you have specific brands or products you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them with you. Don't forget to pack your necessary documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any other identification. Also, bring any necessary prescription medications and a copy of your prescriptions. If you plan on cooking or have specific dietary needs, you might want to pack some non-perishable food items. However, local markets in Port Antonio offer a variety of fresh produce and groceries. Lastly, pack a good book, travel guide, or download some local music to get you in the Jamaican spirit," remarked another expat in Port Antonio, Jamaica.
