Situated at the end of Kingston Harbour, Port Royal is a small town with roots tracing back to 1518. Once among the largest cities in the Caribbean, it suffered a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 1692, which led to its decline. Today, visitors can explore the 17th-century Fort Charles, the town’s star attraction, offering a glimpse into its storied past. The fort stands as a testament to the area’s historical significance, inviting travelers to walk through its weathered walls and imagine the bustling port that once was.
