We're all accustomed to the usual beach flex, but what about those days where you're not too thrilled about hot sun, sand and overcrowded venues. For those who appreciate the occassional river outing to help clean your heart, the trip to a refreshing, natural stream may not be as far as you may think

Located near the Hermitage Dam in Stony Hill, be prepared to do a bit of riding/hiking if you seek out this majestic treasure.
Mountain River Cave St.Catherine
Located in the lush green terrains of Cudjoe Hill, it houses a large collection of art of Jamaicas native inhabitants, the Tainos, and shows clues to their early existence.
Salt River Clarendon
A favourite among residents of the town for a cool dip. After the highway toll booth, turn left at Sandy Bay and be blessed.

A river, beach and small hamlet together on an isolated stretch of south facing coastline. The name is said by the locals to derive from the German word for good.
