[quote SassyGirl]Hi,

Hubby and me are going on a cruise in just 11 days and one of the ports is Ocho Rios. We've been there a couple times before...did Dunns River Falls, a guided tour around the island, and a visit to Mahogany Beach. Mahogany Beach was okay but not the best beach we ever went to.

This time, we'd like to simply do 2 things...find a place to buy some authentic Blue Mountain coffee at a decent price and find a nice beach to plant ourselves on the entire day...maybe a beach that has access to food/beverages and a place that's not loud/partying. We're more "zen", if you know what I mean.

Can anyone suggest a good place to buy Blue Mountain that may be easily accessible from the cruise dock, and also a nice beach that's accessible as well?

Thanks!

I stick to Jablum Blue Mountain coffee. It is 100% pure bean.

I always tell people to be careful as many vendor/stores sell different brands, but when you read the small print, it will say 'blend'...

Can't help you with a beach (we always just shop and head over to Margaritaville), however many people buy a day pass at a local resort which includes drinks, beach, chairs, etc. Hopefully someone else can chime in here and help you out.
