Navy Island
18° 11.2′ N · 76° 27.5′ W · approximate
The wooded island that forms Port Antonio's West Harbour, once owned by Errol Flynn and part of the old Fort George defences. It is what makes West Harbour so calm.
Practical
Coordinate approximate (island centre, inferred from Noonsite's West Harbour position and Virgintino's description of the island lying to starboard on entry). Virgintino (2015): it once had a marina, now in disrepair, with nothing for visiting yachts. Wikivoyage mentions golden-sand beaches and a small rainforest reached by a short boat ride. A 2016 Noonsite report says the marina banned anchoring in West Bay, including just south of Navy Island. Ask the marina before landing; access may be restricted.
