Every day has its own special evening, from Uptown Monday to Freaky Fridays - enjoy it!
Music and beach, an ideal cocktail that you will find some 80 km from Kingston, in Ocho Rios, "Ochie" for friends. On the way to Spanish Town, stop at Tuff Gong, the famous studio now owned by Bob's sons. After this stopover, the festive universe of Ochie will take you away. The city offers many attractions where tourists and locals meet in a joyful atmosphere. Let yourself be caught up in the atmosphere....
Among the most recent activities in Ocho Rios are Island Village. In the afternoon, visit the Dunn's River Falls, the island's number one attraction, located just minutes from downtown. Climb the 1 200 m of waterfalls, with or without the help of the guides, and enjoy the freshness of their crystal clear water. You can then rest on this adventure on a small sandy beach located just below falls. In the evening, the richness of nightlife in the city will charm you.
For a day of music, Oracabesa Beach (the famous James Bond Beach) sets the scene; reggae dancehall atmosphere is guaranteed some evenings. Allow time to pass peacefully before heading south.
Nine Miles is the birthplace of the greatest Jamaican reggae icon. Stop at his mausoleum and visit the little house where the star lived. The atmosphere has remained family and simple, despite the daily influx of tourists. Then continue to Montego Bay.
Return to Kingston. Do not hesitate to stop on the road to meet the locals and discuss a little with them. You will soon find that in Jamaica, everyone is a little musician and goes from his own composition... A treat!
If you're a Jamaican music lover and the finances go well, a stopover on the Orange Street side, in Downtown Kingston, at the Rockers International store will allow you to find some pearls.
