Conveniently located just minutes from cruise ports, top resorts, and major highways in St. Ann, it’s a must-visit destination for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty and vibrant culture of Jamaica.

I been there so many time than I can count. The walk down to the beach is a breeze and the little pools going down, the sign at the top of the peeping through the plants. The there is the whirpool under the bridge....oh lord....listen...I saved the best for last. Getting to the foot of the falls....and have that water beat down into your back....no other therapy could deliver. I give it a 10 for experience. The walk back to the top will definately test your ganster but at the end you feel replenished and revive because you will get an very restful sleep in the night
