Port Antonio - Provisions And Laundry

Provisions

There are a great deal of small to mid-sized grocery stores in town.  Most normal needs are available but be prepared for island pricing.  Most items are 30-50% more expensive than Panama.  Locally grown veggies or manufactured items are the exception and can be pretty reasonable.  Genuine blue-mountain coffee is available all over, but is quite expensive.  Around US$25/pound.

Kamal’s supermarket is said to be have the best variety and most reasonable prices.

There is a large outdoor farmers market right outside of the marina with the normal goods available and an indoor farmers market straight across from the cenotaph on Williams Street.  The prices appeared a bit better and the vegetables are local and good quality.

Be sure to check out the local bakeries.  Both the Ginger Bulla from CC Bakery and the bread from Coronation Bakery are excellent.

Laundry

Errol Flynn Marina has an on-site self-serve laundry US$8 per load (2 washers and driers are available).
