Dunn’s River Falls is an astounding flowing falls that extends across more than 183 metres or 600 feet. The falls is frequently featured in tourist advertisements that endorse Jamaica. These ads make Dunn’s River Falls one of the most well liked travel destinations on the island.
Another remarkable point is that the Dunn’s River is one of the few rivers in the world that flows directly into the Caribbean Sea. Dunn’s River Falls is unique. Described as a living and growing phenomenon, it continuously regenerates itself from deposits of travertine rock, the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate from the river, as it flows over the falls.
The small dome-shaped cataracts are usually associated with thermal spring activity found in limestone caves. This, combined with its location near to the sea, gives Dunn’s River the distinction of being the only one of its kind in the Caribbean, if not the world.
There is a wheelchair accessible path that goes halfway up the falls, with a platform for easy viewing – take pictures, enjoy the lush greenery, while relaxing to the sound of the gushing water falls!
