About this postcard

The picture shows a curving coastal road at Port Maria, Jamaica, bordered by dense tropical vegetation and tall coconut palms leaning toward the sea, with a rocky outcrop at the water's edge. The printed caption names the scene "The Coast Road at Port Maria, Jamaica." Port Maria is a town on Jamaica's north coast and the capital of Saint Mary Parish; the road follows the shoreline in a setting typical of the island's coastal scenery.
