Palisadoes

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Palisadoes (word apparently of Portuguese origin) is the thin tombolo of sand that serves as a natural protection for the harbour of Kingston, Jamaica.

Norman Manley International Airport and the historic town of Port Royal are both on Palisadoes, as is Palisadoes Raceway, a go-kart track on old runway on the airport's premises.

The privateer Captain Morgan was buried in Palisadoes cemetery, which sank beneath the sea after a 1692 earthquake.
