Situated on the North Coast of Jamaica 42 miles from Montego Bay Airport.
Ocho Rios is in the middle of the island's long north coast. Like Montego Bay, Ocho Rios boasts a wide range of visitor accommodations. It's particularly noted for spectacular waterfalls, working Plantations, beaches, busy modern cruise ships and beautiful tropical gardens. Nowhere else on the island is there such a rich profusion of hibiscus and poinsettia.
At nearby Runaway Bay, slaves escaped from the island in canoes. In this town are the intriguing limestone Green Grotto Caves which lead to an underground lake. Further along the coast, the Seville Estate is the site of Sevilla Nueva, the first Spanish settlement in Jamaica. Runaway Bay is considered today as the newest resort area with hotels, restaurants and souvenirs.
