The Pork Pit (Gloucester Avenue)
18° 28.8′ N · 77° 55.7′ W
A jerk joint right on the Hip Strip, cooking chicken and pork over coals - what some call Jamaica's best jerk, within walking distance of Doctor's Cave Beach.
Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap (The Pork Pit, Gloucester Avenue/Jimmy Cliff Boulevard). Wikivoyage lists it at 27 Gloucester Avenue. Margaritaville, with its water slide and ocean trampoline, is a few hundred metres north (18.48386N, 077.93032W, OSM). Land the dinghy at the yacht club and taxi, or use Doctor's Cave Beach. Hurricane Melissa (Category 5, October 28, 2025) caused severe damage in western Jamaica; confirm the business is operating before you go.
