Duncan
 The small Town of Duncan is approximately half way between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios on the North Coast of Jamaica.
It consists of a small variety of shops, restaurants, and bars; and seems frozen in time as with the town land mark, the clock tower.
Although a little run down, it is friendly and easy going, and where you can find fresh fruit and vegetables, and the bakery makes delicious Coco-breads and Mongoose Bread.
Head East towards RIO BUENO.
On your left the Kettering Baptist church built in 1893 commemorates the famous emancipator William Knibb who, in 1840, founded a village here for freed slaves, naming it after his native town in Northamptonshire, England. William Knibb died here in 1845.

Duncans Bay
The views of Duncans Bay are breathtaking and the beach is among the best in Jamaica. Duncan, the town a few minutes drive away and Falmouth, the main town, is 20 minutes away, serves Duncans Bay for many of it's utilities. Duncans Bay has a strong history, which is felt while living in the area, the Caves are proof of this past. The area started development in the seventies; with the Silver Sands Resort next door, Duncans Bay is fast becoming the place to be.
This area is often not viewed as a Resort because of it's relax attitude towards living here, peaceful, swim in the beautiful ocean which is always just a few minutes away and you are in another world. Duncans Bay is one of Jamaica’s best-kept secrets. It is a quiet, natural, public beach, with crystal clear turquoise sea, (ideal for Snorkelling) and will satisfy all tastes from the sun seekers to beachcombers.
Fish of all colours can be seen darting in and out of the many and intricate rock pools at one end of the small bay, and beach fishing at sunrise is worth the early start. You can almost feel as if this is your own private beach, as it is mostly deserted except at weekends when local families make the most of the cool blue Caribbean waters.
