Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay are located in the heart of the north-coast region defined by fern-clad cliffs and cascading waterfalls, not far from where Columbus first landed more than 500 years ago. Island Village, adjacent to the cruise ship pier, offers a multitude of informal dining and entertainment venues, as well as souvenir and duty-free shopping. Dunn's River Falls and Waterpark is Ocho Rios's most popular tourist attraction, where the adventurous can book a guide to scale the falls, and those seeking a more tranquil afternoon can pamper themselves with a waterfall massage. Coyaba Gardens and Mahoe Falls features amazing, intricate water gardens and unique Jamaican Spanish architecture; and the Shaw Park Botanical Gardens offers 25 acres of tropical splendor.
