You step from an air-conditioned vehicle into heat that smells of salt and green growth; the roar of water grows as the path drops toward the shoreline. At Dunn’s River Falls the cascade dares you upward—terraced limestone sheets slick with algae and warmed by sun—then a short drive inland takes you to the Blue Hole, where jade pools wait behind a canopy of trees and ropes swing from hidden ledges.
