    Kingston is an amazing place, an experience to live as it was your last day on earth. The warm weather, the people, the musicality and everything here is a blessing to be appreciated. The waterfront is part of the beauty of this magical island. The dizzly house is a sensorial and amazing experience. I won't give a spoiler but you will realize how easy your brain can be cheated.

    A range of eating options. Limited places to sit and eat. The seafront restaurant offered a range of great cocktails. So much more could be done to improve the area as a spot for tourism. Excellent views of Norman Manley Airport, the port and of course the Caribbean Sea.

    Came down to the waterfront to catch the sunset and it was beautiful out! Now the waterfront here in the city is definitely not as beautiful as the rest of the island, but still worth checking out! It is also right next to the art district, which is a cool place to walk around and take pictures with murals!

    Went there for the Loose Cannon III Boat Ride. You have to find seating anywhere it's available until the boat comes. They could do with additional seats on the outside. You will have to sign a waver before going on the boat which basically says, in case of accidents or injuries, you're on your own. The experience was nice on the boat. Food and liquor was available with the pkg.

    The waterfront is a nice retreat area to visit in the city. It offers a peaceful scenery where one can get away from the hustle and bustle watch the sun set or ships passing by.

    It's a very great space to just relax and take a breather. It's away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, leaving it very tranquil and peaceful, with only the sounds of the breeze and waves filling the area. There's ample parking space and lots of seats to sit by the sea to just wire down. Not to mention all the amenities in the area so you won't be left hungry or parched. Whether for a lunch date or a just a day off to unwind, I'd definitely recommend the waterfront. 9/10

    It's nice to go and see the sea and the fishermen, but there isn't much shaded seating; almost all benches are helplessly exposed to the Jamaican sun. Any seating that does have shade is dilapidated and in need of repair or replacement. The area is also not cleanly kept, unfortunately, but this is a nationwide problem not unique to Waterfront. I think much greater thought could be placed in the design and beautification of the area as well. For a leisurely place so accessible for many people working in the area, it's often left disproportionately unadmired.

    Awesome view... looking out at the airport and the harbour. Perfect for a Sunday evening walk. You can enjoy the scenery or the guys fishing, the youngsters doing cannonball into the harbour, Or just pull up for one of those in car conversations while the sunset in the distance. You won't regret it. πŸ‘πŸΌ

    The Kingston Waterfront is slap dab on the cusp of change, while customary activities go on simultaneously. Boys are still diving, car washers are still cleaning cars, peddlers are still hawking, and lovers are still lounging. All while restaurants and other places continue to improve their architecture and offerings. Troy

    I went and saw the most beautiful orange sunset. We were too in awe and missed getting a photo. We stayed close to the Victoria Pier but walked along and enjoyed the views. Even saw a plane taking off in the distance.

    Nice spot to chill and hangout. Close to shops and several restaurants and bars. Some sections could do with some renovation and better landscaping.

  • 5/5 Nnaeiluj G. 5 years ago on Google
    An excellent place to sit and chill, especially in the evening. You could take in the sights around you, like the boats and ships on the harbor, the sunset among other things. I've been there several times, even purchased Island Grill and sat by the harbor and eat. I don't feel fearful when I'm there as lots of people are about usually.

    With the lockdown it an easy to go to place to just unwind and get your mental health back in tack. Just walk aimlessly. Enjoy the scenery and just live every moment.

  • 4/5 Damion N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to be with friends and family. A variety of shops to choose, whether it's Devon House ice cream, Gloria's fish dishes, Pizzas or just somewhere to hangout after work to party and have a drink out.

  • 3/5 Wildchild L. 6 months ago on Google
    A great place to go with family or friends and have a drink, chill or eat. The issues I have is the poor seating area, rats are crawling and running everywhere and tbe trash disposals are over flowing with garbage. Really need upgrading and maintenance.

  • 5/5 Heather β€œFirespice” B. 6 months ago on Google
    There was a time you couldn't step foot downtown Kingston because it was dangerous. Now it's a beautiful area full of businesses and tourism. My only issue is they need more recycling and garbage receptacles so that people will stop throwing their trash on the ground and in the water. When I looked in the water it was full of plastic bottles and every I looked on the ground were plastic bottles as well. There is a Devon House I Scream shop near by and restaurant called Gloria's that I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Prescod P. 2 years ago on Google
    Waterfront is bursting with life! Would be great to have a vacation rental with the ocean view and fresh crisp sea breeze, Gloria Fish, Devon House Ice-cream, coconut water and fruits from the cart man and of course the convenience of the being in the business hub, Heavenly

  • 4/5 Computerized Cobra P. 11 months ago on Google
    In comparison to my last visit, this was a marked improvement in food consistency, taste and service delivery. The cashier was pleasant, helpful and friendly and the servers worked speedily to push out the orders to customers. I still have an issues with the amount of fries served though, everytime the servers use the tongue to lift up a serving of fries, nearly half of the contents spill unto the serving rack.

    Kingston harbour is one of the few natural harbour in the word. Famous for the wickidiest harbour in the Caribbean for its famous Port Royal. With its newly built cruise ship floating dock. It is a sanctuary for many marine life, with mangroves and shallow waters ideal for spawning.

    Great place to relax and get some food on any day.

  • 4/5 Khalfani B. 10 months ago on Google
    The experience was nice ,I visited on a week day night ,I parked In the public car park; sat on the wall and enjoyed the greatveiw of the kingston harbour with periodic flights coming into the Norman Marley International Air Port from the sky with those beautiful different aray of flashing lights, that adds its own beauty to the experience of the evening along with the crashing of the waves against the walls, nice experience to even share with that special someone,with the availability of a snack vendor or two passing by to keep you snacked up and hydrated during your enjoyable evening on the water front in down town Kingston and the area is patrolled by bike police officers to add to your peace of mind.

  • 3/5 Travis S. 1 year ago on Google
    The seats and retaining wall is crumbling and in need of renovation. The area by the businesses is really run down. But the area where no one is where they are working is very nice. It is just not in an area that people will walk or go.

  • 4/5 Shanice D. 2 years ago on Google

    Nice, cool, and quiet soroundings with a gentle sea breeze. Ample parking, with seats for you to relax. Cleanliness may be of concern in some areas

    I wanted to see the progress of the redevelopment of the Kingston waterfront and I must say the work is coming along nicely. There has been improvement on the stretch from Rae Town into the business district ( I posted a video showing that area). There are also now a number of restaurants on the main area of the Waterfront, including Ribbiz and Gloria's Seafood. Still alot of work needs to be done in terms of making the area safe and aesthetically pleasing, however I applaud the progress.πŸ‘πŸΌ

  • 4/5 Sajato P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you looking for a place to spend some time fishing well you have found a spot that allows you to enjoy just that. Even if you yourself don't know how to person are friendly enough to show you how to. It can be windy at times which takes away the heat of the day.

  • 5/5 Marion N. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience is great I do fishing also other persons does n we catch fish up to 100lbs

  • 4/5 Coach B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my go2 hangout spot to chill and unwind. However, be careful of overpricing from street vendors. But if you just want to chill and have some ice cream, this is a good place to do it
