You step out of an air-conditioned van and the ocean air hits first—salty, warm, insisting you move faster. A ribbon of water ahead surges and spills over terraced limestone, the falls themselves climbing roughly 600 feet before surrendering to the Caribbean. Dunn’s River doesn’t retire into a gorge; it pushes itself to the sea, urging climbers up its steps of rock and shoals of moss.
