Escape to Shaw Park Gardens

A great spot to get respite from the sun away from city noise are the rarely crowded Shaw Park Botanical Gardens, lodged in the hills above Ocho Rios. Wander solo or take a guided tour of over 25-acres of flowers. Dip in a gorgeous waterfall and take in the view of Ocho Rios’ harbor 900 feet below.
