A cool spray hits your face before you see the fall itself — the Caribbean beyond flashes turquoise as water steps down a natural staircase of limestone. You arrive from the west, leaving Negril’s long beaches behind, and find a place where the river reaches the sea in loud, tangible motion. Guides call out handholds; the rock is warm where sun strikes and slick in the shade.
