The morning air in Ocho Rios tastes of salt and petrol: horses stamp, ATVs hum, and the Caribbean pushes a cool breeze inland. Pick-up is swift and air-conditioned, and within an hour you’re astride a calm horse that steps from shaded trail onto the warm, wet sand. The surf dares you as the horse pads through the shallows and the shoreline slides past in a mix of palm fronds and ocean light.
