As you drive eastward along the north coast approaching Boston Bay from Port Antonio, a fragrant aroma wafts across the road just yards before you catch the first glimpse of the transparent turquoise waters of Boston Beach. Follow the scent to the Boston jerk centre and prepare your taste buds for an authentic Jamaican treat. Boston is the undisputed home of jerk.
Actually a collection of about half a dozen open-air stands, this supercasual eatery is a culinary capital in Jamaica thanks to its fiery jerk pits. Stroll up to the open pits, fired by pimento logs and topped with a piece of corrugated roofing metal, locally known as zinc, and order meat by the quarter, half, or full pound; chicken, pork, goat, and fish are top options. Side dishes are few but generally include festival (a rolled bread similar to a Southern hush puppy) and rice and peas.
Location: Boston Beach on Rte. A4 east of Port Antonio, Port Antonio

The best jerk you can ever find. The sausage is to die for. Make sure you have some "Ting" or Red Stripe' very spicey. Love the pork
