Shaw Park Gardens
A long-established tropical botanical garden on a hillside, with waterfalls and viewing platforms overlooking Ocho Rios Bay.
Shaw Park Gardens was built on the site of an 18th-century plantation. The garden has many tropical trees, orchids, bromeliads and ferns. A small stream runs through the garden and forms multi-tier waterfalls. From the high platforms, you can see panoramic views of Ocho Rios town and the harbour. The garden is quiet and has few visitors, making it a good place for photos and a stroll. Admission is about 10 to 15 US dollars. Opening hours are roughly 8:00 to 17:00. A taxi from the town centre up Shaw Park Road takes about 5 minutes.
