Spotlight On
Some consider the town centre of Buff Bay, a small seaside community on Jamaica’s north-east coast to be one of the best laid out towns on the island. Within the town there are a number of modest representations of nineteenth century architecture including the interesting St Georges’ parish church on the seaward side of town.
