Ocho Rios is located in St. Ann's parish about 60 miles from Annotto to Discovery Bay on a half-moon shaped cove in the middle of Jamaica's northern coastline. It was formerly a fishing port and was also known for its banana exports. Now it is a pretty resort town with stunning waterfalls and beaches and  interesting colonial-period buildings like the Geddes Memorial Church and the Anglican Church. The town's business and commercial center
is Pineapple Place. When not indulging in the many activities available--horseback riding, polo, golf, tennis, shopping, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, swimming or sunbathing--there are a number of interesting sights worth seeing in the environs of Ocho Rios: The number of day trips in the area is almost endless, but there is one you should not miss: the visit to the Dunn's River Falls. Other attractions are the working plantations, the beaches, the Bob Marley mausoleum, the scuba diving sites, and, last but not least, some of the most exclusive resorts in the island.
