Introducing Mayfield Falls
The Dolphin Head Mountains rise inland of Moskito Cove and are known for their cascades. The grandest of these are at Mayfield, near Pennycooke, about 16km south of Moskito Cove (6km east of Lucea). Here, a series of 21 falls and pools beckons you to take a refreshing dip in any of the delightful swimming holes, which are shaded by glades of bamboo. You can even swim through a cave.

Original Mayfield Falls & Mineral Springs (957-4864; www.mayfieldfalls.com; admission US$10, with lunch US$25) is a working tropical farm and tour attraction. To reach the cascades you’ll cross a bamboo-and-log bridge then follow the sun-dappled river course, clambering over river stones. You can learn about ackee, breadfruits and other Jamaican fruits, vegetables and flowers, and even join in traditional African music and dance during show time (2:30pm Tuesday and Friday). You can book a tour (per person US$65) at the office in Negril on Norman Manley Blvd, or through many local hotels; the price includes transportation, lunch and refreshment.
