Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay
are the heart of a north coast region
scattered with fern-clad cliffs and breathtaking waterfalls, not far from where
Columbus first landed more than 500 years ago.
Amazed by the island’s beauty, the explorer declared: "It is the fairest
island ever eyes beheld...mountainous, and the land seems to touch the
sky." Jamaicans say that Ocho Rios is the place where heaven spills into
the seas.
Today, visitors come from all over the world to make their own discoveries in
this stimulating yet tranquil resort area, which combines the attractions of one
of the Caribbean’s most popular ports-of-call with the splendid scenery of the
surrounding "garden parish" of St. Ann.
From the open-air museum of Columbus Park in Discovery Bay to the sleepy
settlement of Oracabessa, a dazzling sequence of brilliant-blue bays, quaint
fishing villages and soft, sandy coves beckon sunbathers, swimmers and
watersports enthusiasts.
 It’s
also a mecca for music fans: One of Jamaica’s most famous sons is celebrated
in the tiny village of Nine Miles during the first week of February, when
official birthday celebrations for reggae legend Bob Marley, who was born and is
buried there, attract hundreds of visitors.
Beyond the renowned resorts and golf courses of Runaway Bay, there’s horseback
riding at Chukka Cove, an equestrian resort facility that features polo matches,
lessons and trail rides through neighboring plantations. At St. Ann’s Bay, the
Seville Great House & Heritage Park includes artifacts from the excavated
colony of Sevilla La Nueva (New Seville) that was founded in 1509 by
Columbus’s son.
One of the island’s best-known natural attractions is Dunn’s River Falls, a
dramatic 600-foot drop of cascading water that’s considered the Niagara of the
Caribbean. A highlight of any trip to Ocho Rios is a careful climb up its
limestone tiers, followed by a swim at the beach below.
The three-mile drive through vine-draped Fern Gully includes close-up views of
30-foot-tall fern trees and other specimens unique to the island. Transfixing
vistas of the coast and a profusion of indigenous plants, flowers and trees are
offered at Shaw Park Gardens, while a look at Jamaica’s indigenous Taino
Indian culture is provided at the Coyaba River Garden and Museum, in another
leafy tropical setting.
Abundant crops of sugarcane, coffee and bananas have been harvested since the
18th century at Prospect Plantation, which offers tours and horseback riding.
Further east, Harmony Hall is a restored Victorian mansion with an art gallery
that sells some of the finest art and crafts on the island.
When night comes, you can take a canoe ride up the torch-lit White River, a
journey that includes a folklore show, dinner and open bar, or take in the
dinner theater performance at the Little Pub. Fine dining in exotic settings is
also available at restaurants like the Ruins and the Almond Tree--or try
Evita’s, where the menu features unique Jamaican-Italian specialties like
"Rasta Pasta."
Runaway Bay and Ocho Rios overflow with places to stay, from traditional
high-rise hotels to all-inclusive resorts which cater specifically to families
or to couples only. A number of elegant resorts offer luxurious old-world
ambience and service; numerous moderate low-key lodgings flourish along the
beach, and the a number also offer modern spa facilities to their guests.
Several charming small hotels and inns provide a different kind of Ocho Rios
experience.
Further inland, fishing, boating and horseback riding are included in an
excursion to the Goshen Wilderness Resort, set amidst forested green hills. A
few miles further east, in the town of Oracabessa, Goldeneye--the former home of
author Ian Fleming--is now an exclusive villa resort with a celebrity clientele,
close to James Bond Beach.
From here, it’s only a few miles to Firefly, where Noel Coward lived and is
buried. Built on a hilltop that was once a lookout point for the pirate Henry
Morgan, the house is now open to the public for tours and special functions,
including afternoon tea.
The town of Ocho Rios is a lively blend of sun and fun. It’s vibrant and
diverse. Centrally located on Jamaica’s North Coast, it is a crossroads of
things to do, places to see. So, runaway, discover Ocho Rios… like Columbus,
you’ll see that this is no ordinary place.
