Ocho Rios is a town in the parish of Saint Ann on Jamaica’s north coast and is more widely referred to as Ochi by the locals. Ocho Rios has seen explosive growth in the last decade to become a popular tourist destination featuring duty-free shopping, a cruise-ship terminal, world-renowned tourist attractions, and several beaches and acclaimed resorts. The town has several restaurants and nightclubs, such as Margaritaville, as well as Dolphin Cove, where tourists can swim and interact with dolphins. Another major point of interest is Fern Gully, which was formed from a 1907 earthquake that destroyed one of the river beds in the area. Fern Gully stretches about 3 miles of the great rocky gorge where travelers can see over 540 varieties of ferns.

Traveling through this coastal area, the tones of the region are backdropped by the roar of nearby waterfalls flowing into the Caribbean Sea. Ocho Rios offers possibly the fairest share of our treasures. It meets laid-back and adventurous desires from the city to the forests with plenty of things to do that cater to business and leisure travelers.

Ocho Rios is probably best known for its use in Dr. No, the first James Bond film, released in 1962. If you’re on the island with a view to proposing to that special someone, then you’ll be able to find a wide selection of beautiful jewels in Ocho Rios.
