Ocho rios jamaica is a town on the northern coast of Jamaica, located in the parish of Saint Ann. Ocho Rios jamaica resort
is a popular tourist destination, well known for scuba diving and other water sports. The name Ocho Rios has two possible
origins: it is either a direct translation from Spanish meaning eight rivers or an adulteration of the spouts, reflecting
the large number of waterfalls in the area. A Ocho Rios vacation is located in St. Ann's parish about 60 miles from Annotto
to Discovery Bay on a half-moon shaped cove in the middle of Jamaica's northern coastline. It was formerly a fishing port
and was also known for its banana exports. Now it is a pretty resort town with stunning waterfalls and beaches and interesting
colonial period buildings like the Geddes Memorial Church and the Anglican Church. The town's business and commercial center
is Pineapple Place. When not indulging in the many ocho rios hotels activities available: horseback riding, polo, golf, tennis,
shopping, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, swimming or sunbathing there are a number of interesting sights for ocho rios couples. Ocho
Ríos has gained substantially in popularity among vacationers in recent years as the north coast highway has been improved
from the international airport at Montego Bay to Ocho Ríos, a ninety minute drive. Find a Ocho Rios jamaica hotel with a ocho
rios rental car plus ocho rios flight in a all inclusive package.
