Post By TTN T

In the southeastern region of St. Thomas is the mesmerizing Reggae Falls. Also known as the Dam Head by locals, these falls have a convoluted history to go along with its name. Once a hydroelectric plant, storms wore down the equipment and eventually the plant closed. It's rumored that efforts were put in place to reopen the plant but the idea was never brought to fruition. Today, the water that runs over the dam collects into the swimming pool below the falls.

With endless opportunities for memorable moments to be made at this idyllic escape, Reggae Falls is best known as a peaceful getaway for family and friends seeking an intimate and natural setting where they can pass the day away.

Finding your way to the falls isn't easy, but upon your arrival you’ll realize that it was well worth the effort. Idlers and adventure seekers can spend the day hiking, swimming or just basking in the sun and taking in the sights as the sounds of the rushing waters set the tone for a perfect outing.

Get Here: Drive east from Kingston past the Harbour View Roundabout and onto Bull Bay. Keep heading east on the A4 to the Yallahs Valley and on to Morant Bay. Turn inland at Church Corner and head to Seaforth. Pass Seaforth (Serge Island) continue on to Hillside. Just a little further on you’ll find the turn off to Reggae Falls, known locally as Damhead.
