It wasn't that amazing, our hotel beach at the Jewel was nicer. Lots of people offering drugs along the beach. More

Located just a stones throw from Ocho Rios,Dunn's River Beach is a good destination in it's own right,with beach bars and Jerk available and a great ,safe party atmosphere, But when doubled up with the Falls.....wow.....climb the fantastic Dunn's River Falls or even take the parallel steps if you must.You won't be disappointed!!!!
