Falmouth, Jamaica - Our second port of call
Quaint Falmouth was an economic powerhouse and center for dramatic social change during the English Colonial Period.
In today's Falmouth,
visitors still enjoy 19th-century Georgian architecture as well as
river bamboo raft rides, arts and crafts shopping, flavorful local fare
and horse-and-buggy rides.
Falmouth is the gateway to the best Jamaica
has to offer. Just east of Falmouth is Ocho Rios, known for its
spectacular Dunn’s River Falls. Travel west to reach Montego Bay and the
beautiful beaches of Negril.
Thanks to its central location, Falmouth
gives visitors the best tour experiences of the north coast of Jamaica.
