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.
