Ocho Ríos, located on Jamaica's north coast, was once a small fishing village and is now an excellent tourist destination rivalling any other in the Caribbean.
The natural beauty of Eden Falls, Fern Gully, and Shaw Park Botanical Gardens are just some of its attractions. You can also visit places of incomparable beauty like Dunn's River Falls, Bob Marley's grave and nature parks of great ecological value.
