Unlike some of the more traditional resorts in Jamaica, Runaway Bay is made up of a number of hotels located near the waterfront. Although there isn’t an actual town, Runaway Bay is well equipped with restaurants, bars, and markets along its main coastal road. Visitors staying in Runaway Bay will find it a lovely and refreshing way to spend a holiday, with beaches, watersports, and golf. Those looking for adventure can scuba dive to find coral reefs and shipwrecks beneath the surface of the water or visit the Green Grotto Caves, which twist and stretch beneath the ground. Fans of Bob Marley can visit nearby Nine Mile, where the famous musician was born and is buried.
