Ocho Rios was a fishing village for years, but now it is one of the busiest ports in Jamaica, with cruise ships that regularly dock there for day trips, and it has some of the nicest resorts in the Caribbean. Visitors to Ocho Rios can ride horses on the beach and through the shallow blue waters of the sea, or swim with dolphins and sharks at Dolphin Cove. From Ocho Rios, travelers can also take a day trip to Dunn’s River Falls and Park, where they will find a uniquely beautiful jungle waterfall that cascades over terraced limestone domes. With everything from shopping to relaxation to adventure, Ocho Rios is the place to be in Jamaica.
