Runaway Bay

Resort town on Jamaica's northern coast, Runaway Bay is known for some of the island's best offshore diving and snorkelling, with reef sites including the Canyon, Ricky's Reef, and a dive site called Ganja Planes where wrecked aircraft rest on the seabed. The town sits close to Nine Mile, the village where Bob Marley was born, and an eighteen-hole golf course at Breezes Runaway Bay Resort has hosted championship events. The name itself traces to the town's history as an escape route for runaway slaves.
