Great fun on the beach, full service, clean bathrooms and beautiful walk from the resort was a beautiful time, lots of history if you ask any of the staff they will share the tales of fisherman’s cove

We went to reach falls in June of 2019 and loved it so much we returned in November 2019. This place is so beautiful. It is well maintained and well staffed. When you drive up the parking lot and roads have fresh asphalt and a great bathroom and changing room. You do pay $1500 Jamaican dollars to use this spot, but it is so worth it. From the main part of the falls you are able to walk both up the river and down the river quite a bit. The scenery is breathtaking and the water is crystal clear. There are cute little fish swimming in the basin of the main falls. Beware that the ground is rocky so if you have sensitive feet be sure to wear water shoes. It will also make it easier to get up and down the falls if you want to be more adventurous. The water was much higher and the falls rushing harder in June than in November. Also the water was much cooler in November. If you are in the eastern part of Jamaica then this is definitely worth the stop.

Absolutely enjoyed the bamboo raft ride down the river, taking in the views of the hills and mountains and listening to the river running over the rocks. Our captain Louis was awesome - absolutely recommend booking with him - call (876) 892-3990!

I was here in 2005 and just never forgot it. It is down from a little, nice houses neighborhood. Then I saw Anthony Bourdain was there while filming his CNN show, and I knew I had a great memory.

One day I hope to move to Long Bay. It is by far one of the most low key spots on the island. You will most likely be the only tourist there. The locals are very nice and there are a few tasty spots on the beach for eating and drinking.

Watch the young and adventurous surf the waves as you chow down on jerk pork, the Jamaican dish this beach is famous for.

Sheltered, white sand beach with calm waters perfect for swimming.
Reviewed By 938arleneh - Northport, United States
WOW .... a wow moment. The Blue lagoon is a fresh water mixed with salt water wonder. We got on a raft with Anthony for $25 USD each and for two hours had a delightful ride as we had a few adult beverages. We were treated to the mineral pool then lazed and swam in the lagoon while my Cuz stayed on the raft chilaxing... great two hours on a Saturday afternoon

Surrounded by lush greenery, these falls are best approached via gondola.
Reviewed By bnclee - Toronto, Canada
Great experience. The grounds are well-kept. The pool is large; and, surrounded by lush tropical foliage. The music creates a pleasant ambiance. The walk up to the boat departure is picturesque and pleasant. The boat is manned by a friendly and fun lifeguard. The boat trip and experience under the falls is very unique. Everyone is provided with a life jacket in the boat. You can choose to swim up to the falls, if you prefer. There is a restaurant by the pool, wafting smells of jerk chicken. The pool water was a bit cloudy.

This was our first visit and the view of the marina was simply stunning. Very picturesque, idyllic and relaxing. We enjoyed Devon House ice cream while taking in the view.
10. Boston Jerk Centre
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 37 reviews
Boston Jerk Center is an organic, literally home grown, natural mall focused around jerk cooking. It is focused around 7 jerk pits, but jerk, and associated foods, are not the only items for sale there. Fresh fruit juices, or even just fruit, and jewelry are part of the mix, and there's even a resident DJ, DJ Sheppy with his musical shack.

When you need to take a piece of Jamaica's culture with you then this is the place to go. Enjoy a piece of the succulent jerk pork seasoned to perfection...
