Fern Gully
A road of about 5 km shaded by forest, following a former river bed. Hundreds of fern species line both sides, forming a green tunnel. It is the classic route in and out of Ocho Rios.
Fern Gully was once a dry river bed. It was later converted into the A3 road. Along the 5 km stretch, hundreds of ferns and tall trees grow on both sides, and their branches interlace overhead to form a green tunnel with dappled light and cool air. Roadside stalls sell wood carvings and handicrafts along the way. Most visitors pass through by car, but you can also stop on the roadside to take photos. The road has many bends and fast traffic, so take extra care if walking. From the town centre, it takes about 5 minutes by car to reach the gully.
