Description

In the earlier days, this town was considered the "Paris of the West Indies". During the 1700s Falmouth was trading hub and trendsetter for the rest of Jamaica and the Caribbean. After the demise of sugar in the late 1800s, the town began to decline. In its wake however, left is the largest collection of Georgian style buildings in the world. And due to its rich legacy, Falmouth has been declared a World Heritage Site. Falmouth is still home of one of the largest piers on the island and welcomes visitors. Take a walking tour around this town, interact with locals or ask for a guided tour where you will learn the rich history of what was.
