A stone-paved walkway along the spit of land between the Harbour View neighborhood and Port Royal makes for a nice run, with great views of Bull Bay to the south and Kingston Harbour to the north. Our route starts in Harbour View and follows the Norman Manley Highway to Buccaneer Beach, for 4.8 km. Turn back for a 9.6 km out and back, or you can continue on the road (wide, even gravel shoulder) for another 2 km, passing the passing the Norman Manley International Airport, toward Plumb Point Lighthouse.
