Black River is the capital of St. Elizabeth Parish, in southwestern Jamaica.
It sits at the mouth of the river of the same name. Once a thriving sugar port, it is today a centre of
environmental tourism and a gateway to the Treasure Beach resort area;
Treasure Beach and Crane Beach are to the south-east with Luana Beach to the west. In the Town of
Black River you have the Black River Safari Tour. The river is one of the longest rivers in Jamaica.
At a length of 53.4km (33miles), it was believed to be the longest until it was discovered that the
Rio Minho was 92.8 km long. Its name refers to the darkness of the river bed caused by
thick layers of decomposing vegetation. Over 100 species of birds have been recorded in the
Black River morass.You can explore what feels like real Tarzan country, with mangrove
trees and crocodiles in the wild, on an outing with South Coast Safaris.
Lots of wild things grow in these swamps, and birders delight in the bird life. Take a view of Black River
