Jamaica is perhaps the best known Caribbean destination and Dunn’s River Falls is Jamaica’s best known tourist attraction. This picturesque and majestic body of water is a waterfall of beauty. In fact, it’s been the poster photo for the Jamaica tourist office for quite some time now.

Located about 5 minutes west of one of Jamaica’s top tourist destinations, these incredible falls are quite accessible. The uniqueness of the waterfall’s beauty is far-reaching, it is one of the few waterfalls in the world that can be climbed. Sure there are many waterfalls all over the world but not so many that are so hospitable. It is also one of the few falls that empties directly into the ocean, which surely adds to its mystique.

In case you missed it, it also has a beach and a pretty good one. This place is a combination of a picnic area, majestic waterfalls and a splendid white sand beach. No other natural facility in the world has a combination of this quality and magnitude. It really is a good way to spend a day, climbing the falls and enjoying its therapeutic waters. However, having lunch outdoors and listening to mother nature and then relaxing on the white sand beach is more than money can buy.

The natural fauna and flora underline the rich biodiversity while enhancing the environment. The chirping of the birds enjoying their freedom and the environment mixed with the water that gushes down the slopes is really special. The sound of tree branches swaying in the gentle breeze reminds us all that Mother Nature is the true medicine of the soul.
