Beaches
The Beautiful Beaches in and around Ocho Rios. (Many private beaches in Jamaica charge a small entrance fee)
Beautiful calm beach with a bar and restaurant. A place where you could spend all day at the sea. Call ahead to reserve a cabana for $4,000 JMD, it's worth it!

Located in Oracabessa near Goldeneye Resort, James Bond Beach is famous for the beautiful color of the water. Fresh water combines with the salty coves to create the most incredible swirl of blue and green water that you have ever seen, and it's nice for a swim too!

Located in the heart of Ocho Rios town, the Craft Market is a staple of Caribbean life where local artisans put their hand-made works of art on display. Great place to buy Jamaica-themed gifts, souvenirs and street art.

Mahogany Beach is in Pineapple neighborhood, right in the heart of Ocho Rios (locals refer to it as Carib). Many boat excursions leave from this beach and it has a party atmosphere. There is a restaurant and bar, beach facilities and a river where many locals take a swim.

I can recommend my preferred taxi driver
I've been using Morgan, my trusted Ocho Rios taxi driver, for more than 5 years. He can take you on excursions, arrange a private airport transfer, or just take you around town. Let me know and I'll put you in touch with Morgan!
Skikke og kultur
Tipping is much appreciated in Jamaica.
I suggest getting some local currency for "pocket money". There are many things to buy in Jamaica, like a fresh coconut jelly water on the road-side or some fresh fruit in the market-place. You will have an easier time with Jamaican money and it's always nice to tip the local vendors.
