The Great House, Harmony Hall was originally built in 1886. After a period of neglect, Harmony Hall was renovated and reopened in 1981 as an arts and crafts gallery. Around 100 artists and craftsmen display their work in the upper floor of the great house. Exhibited works are available to buy from the gallery and prints (and other sundry items) are available in the gift shop. The gound floor of Harmony Hall is home to Toscanini, a fine Italian restaurant featuring traditional Italian dishes augmented with Jamaican ingredients and a wide selection of wines from around the world.

Beaches

 Reggae Beach
 4 miles east of Ocho Rios and 6 miles west of Oracabessa - on the main road
 













Reggae Beach is generally a quieter alternatave to the beaches at Ocho Rios. Being just beyond walking distance of Ocho Rios, Reggae Beach does not attract a large tourist crowd. The beach tends to be more popular with Jamaicans, making for a more "authentic" Jamaican atmosphere.

Outdoor parties are sometimes held here, with Selectors, DJs and Singers blasting through giant sound ststems until the early morning.
