We've compiled the best of the best in Ocho Rios - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
Ocho Rios's largest market has stalls selling everything from straw hats to wooden figurines to T-shirts. Vendors can be aggressive, and haggling is expected. Your best chance of getting a good price is to come on a day when there's no cruise ship in port.
This small, casual market on the outskirts of Ocho Rios has everything from carved figurines to coffee-bean necklaces.
Eight minutes east of town, a restored 19th-century minister's house now carries original works of art. On sale are late owner Annabella Proudlock's wooden boxes, their covers decorated with reproductions of Jamaican paintings; magnificently displayed larger reproductions of paintings, lithographs, and signed prints of Jamaican scenes; and hand-carved wooden combs. Harmony Hall is also well known for its shows of local artists. It's closed Mondays.
You'll find ceramics and other arts and crafts, all of which are made in Jamaica.
