Black River SafariThis town in St Elizabeth parish still displays relics of the days when it was one of the most influential in Jamaica, being a major producer of black textile dye before the days of synthetic dyes. Still to be seen along the waterfront are some old wooden buildings with colonnaded verandas and gingerbread trim, and the Invercauld Hotel, built in 1889, gives a hint of what the great houses of the town in its heyday were like. Today tourists stop off here mainly to take a boat safari on the Black River itself, which at 44 miles (71km) is Jamaica's longest river. Peat moss at the river bottom makes the crystal clear water appear black. |
YS FallsThe YS falls, named for the initials of the original owners of the farm on which they are sited, are among Jamaica's most spectacular, consisting of a series of seven cascades. The YS farm is about 33 miles (53km) west of Mandeville and the falls are reached by a 10-minute tractor journey. The falls are unspoilt, and bathing is possible in the crystal-clear greenish pools. A wooden stairway leads to a platform beside the highest waterfall. Recent additions to the attractions at YS Falls include exhiliarating canopy rides, which glide from the top of the falls to its base, and river tubing, which are accompanied by experienced guides. |
 Little Ochi Seafood RestaurantLittle Ochi Seafood Restaurant overlooks the black sand of Jamaica’s south coast shoreline to present laidback get-away from ‘city life’. They offer fresh from the sea, lobster, shrimp and fish served with a choice of steaming hot bammies and/or festivals. Its annual Seafood Festival is an essential event for seafood lovers. The quiet, almost bohemian character of our south coast makes Little Ochi a popular respite for the weary. |
