History of Dunns River Falls and Beach


JuteVilla
Dunn’s River Falls are fed by spring water, which is rich with calcium carbonate and is depositing travertine. Waterfall is described by geologists as "a living phenomenon" because falls are continuously rebuilt by the sediments from spring water.

Dunn's River Falls is one of the very few travertine waterfalls in the world that actually empties directly into the sea.

It was the site of a location shoot for the 1988 Tom Cruise film Cocktail.

The falls were also used for location footage in the first James Bond film Dr. No in 1962, where Bond (played by Sean Connery) and Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) are in the river, and for the Reality TV show America's Next Top Model Cycle 19, where a photo shoot was taken place on the falls
