Runaway Bay, Jamaica Overview

Just ten miles west of Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay's stunning beaches see far less footprints than its neighbor's. It's also removed from the cruise ship herds and pushy vendors. Perfect for those happy not to wander far from their resort, there are a few nearby attractions nonetheless. Bob Marley's childhood home and mausoleum is in nearby Nine Mile. Jamaican history is on view at Seville Great House and at Columbus Park Museum. To explore, rent a reliable vehicle and remember to drive on the left.
