Overview

Its people are private but welcoming to humble visitors who wish to explore and learn more about its history.
Port Royal is also home to or nearby historical sites that you can explore on your visits, such as Fort Charles, built in the 17th century by Lord Horatio Nelson and Sir Admiral Rodney.
