Folly Ruins and Lighthouse
The crumbling concrete shell of a 1905 mansion on Folly Point, east of Port Antonio, with a red-and-white lighthouse from 1888 nearby. It was abandoned within a few years of being built and its roof collapsed in the 1930s.
Getting there
Easy. Paved roads from Port Antonio, about 3 km east and then down Folly Road. The ruin is fenced and unstable, so view it from outside. No ticket or posted hours were found.
