Workation in Ocho Rios: the essentials
Ochi, as locals call it, began as a fishing village on Jamaica's north coast and has grown into a cruise port, with about 17,000 residents in 2011. Dunn's River Falls, where a river cascades over rock terraces onto the beach, is the best-known sight, just outside town, while Reynolds Pier still ships sugar and limestone. The name is probably a corruption of the Spanish Las Chorreras, since there are not eight rivers here. Ian Fleming International, a small airport to the east, is the closest, and Sangster lies about 97 km to the west. Scuba diving and water sports are on offer nearby, and on cruise days the centre and shops fill quickly.
