More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on the north coast with salt on your lips and the sound of water insisting you move closer. Dunn’s River Falls tumbles in stepped terraces of pale travertine for roughly 600 feet before it meets the warm Caribbean; the rock builds under your feet as you climb, pockets of rushing water daring you to find the best handholds. A short drive inland takes you to the Blue Hole (Secret Falls), where jade pools and rope swings punctuate a jungle creek.
