Navy Island is a small, 64 acres island off the coast of Port Antonio opposite the Titchfield Peninsula and West Harbour formerly owned by actor Errol Flynn in the 1950s. It got its name from the British Naval base which was set up there in the 18th century to protect the Port Antonio and to service ships. The Island was maintained at one point as a tourist resort and attraction, with a club bar, beaches, water sports facilities, marina, wedding chapel and African style cottages. It's just a seven-minute boat ride from the mainland to this hideaway.
