Jamaica Guide
Ocho Rios and around
The resort town of Ocho Rios typifies the north coast's commercial feel. Home to a wealth of attractions – from the famous Dunn's River Falls to Dolphin Cove – the town is geared to the needs of cruise shippers and beach vacationers. East of town, the coastal villages of Oracabessa and Port Maria boast a funky beach club and Noel Coward's former home. West of town, hotels line the shore at the resort-oriented coastal sprawls of Runaway Bay and Discovery Bay. The lush St Ann hills hold one of Jamaica's major draws, the Bob Marley Mausoleum at the singer's birthplace, Nine Mile.
