Dunn's River Falls is a rare example of travertine formation that actually reaches the sea; both sites sit on lands historically used by the island's Taino people and later shaped by colonial agriculture.
Conservation
Visitors should avoid soaps and non‑reef‑safe sunscreens in pools, stick to marked routes to prevent erosion, and support local guides who help manage sustainable access.
