Here are just a few of the nearby attractions that you might want to check out  if you can tear yourself away from C-Shells and the beach:  

DUNNS RIVER FALLS

Two miles west of Ocho Rios are the Dunns River Falls. Absolutely beautiful falls that cascade 600 feet through tropical foliage.  These falls rush over layered tiers of smooth rock and flow out right onto the beach.  Attempt it by yourself or assisted by guides you can climb to the top of these falls.  It’s a good idea to wear rubber soled shoes.  (These can be rented on site)
