Alright, back into my favorite town in Jamaica….Lucea. I’m still not sure why I’ve always found this little town so charming compared to the rest of the places I’ve been in Jamaica but I just love it!
Its taken me 6 years to actually make the stop in Lucea and look around, so I decided I better make it worthwhile and capture some of the important places in the town….the government buildings.
As usual, I always seem to manage to find the police and fire stations. These firemen didn’t seem as welcoming as the Negril and Ocho Rios crews who invited us in for full tours. But they didn’t seem to mind us taking the pictures. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what’s wrong with those windows LOL.
I thought the official tax collector building was kinda funny. In my mind that should be a part of City Hall but it seems they need to make a bigger statement in the streets by having its own building.
And I’m just assuming this next building is as important as the rest. The roads and works department.
Its interesting to have seen all these “official” looking places because I sometimes forget that Jamaica’s a place like any other. They too, run regular business like any other country in the world would. I just get swept up in all the charm and beauty of Jamaica and don’t remember there’s daily life going on everywhere.

This is a great little city on the island of Jamaica. The beauty and charm grabs you as soon as you hit the entrance of the town.

Lucea is my town but if you blink you’ll miss it cos it’s small. I’m white and English living in Lucea and it’s the nicest place EVER to live. Friendly people,great events (e.g.Across the Harbour), lots of free stage shows, a real clean town and a good range of supermarkets and places to eat. There’s no place like home!!!!
ALSO, did you know the Municipal Building was originally meant for ST LUCIA but was wrongly delivered to Lucea and whoever delivered it couldn’t be bothered to re-route it back to St Lucia.
I should have inserted The Clock on the municipal building which was supposed to be delivered to St Lucia. It’s in the shape of a german helmet! Sorry for missing out the two important words…!
i was born in lucea in 1956 but i came to live in the uk in 1966 but i still have found memories of lucea as a child . i try to visit each year ,istay at sunset beach resort and spa motego bay i stillhave childhood friends living at bay pice and family in green island, i also remember walking up to the top of the hill to go to school
That’s awesome David. I’d still like to get back to Lucea and spend more time there, maybe find a guest house and spend a couple nights.
i lived in lucea on rose hill around 14 years ago lived there for 4 years i loved every min of my time there and intend to come back home one day i left my heart there, i used to love waking up early in the morning and walking out onto my porch and watching the mist rise up from the valleys and see the parrots fly up from the trees,listen to the silence and smell the sweet perfume of jamaica.. beautifull, my eden
Jana that was beautiful! You put that so I could see it in my head and imagine it. I miss Jamaica every minute I’m not there!
I’m still living in Lucea and have done for three years now.Every time I go back to UK then return to Lucea almost everyone tells me they’re happy to see me back home and they really mean it. This little town is friendly, clean and pretty. The crime rate has decreased immensely in the last few years and so its a safe place to live. The theatre in Main Street was knocked down this year and I was so annoyed because its part of the town’s history so I staged a one woman protest before it was demolished! No one listened though and now its no more….!
That’s excellent to hear Janet.
Thanks for The Big Up of my town, I post my web site which is loaded with history of the town(on-going you know).
I used to live right across from the Cliff Theatre, I could see a small part of the screen and hear the sound.
The politician need to stop holding back the growth of the town.
Hey no problem, I love Lucea! I’m gonna visit your site to try and find out more about it. It’s one of those places that’s hard to find info on the net so your site is well needed. 🙂
