very sketchy, would not go back. pot smoking, trying to sell it to us. be very careful and take a ship excursion, especially with a 1 year old.

2 years ago - so things may have gotten better - there was a line of armed guards at the port. I personally wouldn’t get off there again especially with a baby. Like others said the baby won’t remember anyway.

your 1 year old will have a better experience staying on the ship & less stress for you. At that age, they're not going to remember anything anyway.

Yes i have been there twice the first time was 10 years ago and we loved it. BUT we went back A month ago and I was blown away. Ocho Ríos is not the same it’s so much im so lost for words my teen age grandkids calls it ghetto I totally agree with everyone else comments too much pot every where and demanding you to buy it and you would see it in all forms even in candies and brownies. Be very careful and stay with the cruise excursion. I’m don’t know if you are in the cruise heading to caymans island but they have the best beach in the world. Safe cruising God bless

Ocho Rios is Uber Sketchy. Stay on the ship, or take a ship excursion. The beach right there is not desirable for family’s. Lots of locals with booze bottles in paper bags drinking from them

Due to the locals free-spiritedness and local "smoking" allownces, I would stick with the ship's sponsored excursions at this port, to keep a better eye on the little one. Surrounding the port is mostly shopping, many attractions are at least a 30 minute taxi ride away.
