Laughing Waters Beach

Laughing Waters Beach is a scenic waterfall-meets-ocean beach in St. Ann Parish, Jamaica, where a freshwater river cascades over rocks directly onto the Caribbean shoreline near Ocho Rios. The beach gained fame as the filming location for the iconic James Bond scene in Dr. No where Ursula Andress emerges from the sea. Laughing Waters features a mix of river swimming pools and ocean beach, surrounded by tropical vegetation and flat rocks for sunbathing. The site is managed as a private beach with admission, limiting crowd sizes and preserving its cinematic beauty. It sits between Dunn's River Falls and the Ocho Rios cruise port. Aurum Transfers provides private airport transfers from Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ) starting at $95 for up to four guests, with complimentary Starlink WiFi. The 40 minute drive from OCJ follows the coast into western St. Ann.
