About Ocho Rios
On Jamaica's north coast in Saint Ann parish, Ocho Rios sits below Dunn's River Falls – a 180-metre terraced limestone cascade that spills directly into the Caribbean and is climbed in a human chain. East of the cruise pier, Mahogany Beach keeps a small public stretch of calm, shallow water, while central Turtle Beach widens beside the resort strip with longer sand. The sea holds 28 to 29 °C82 to 84 °F from July through September, with Sangster International about 90 minutes west along the A1.
