Kingston, Jamaica November 10, 2025: The Urban Development Corporation (UDC) is pleased to advise that effective Tuesday, November 11, 2025, several of our properties will reopen to the public following the passage of Hurricane Melissa. These include the World-Famous Dunn’s River Falls and Park, Ocho Rios Bay Beach, and Harmony Beach Park in Montego Bay.
As part of Jamaica’s ongoing recovery, the Corporation has prioritized the restoration of these public spaces to support both residents and visitors as we collectively work to restore normalcy.
At Harmony Beach Park, which will initially open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, the UDC is creating a safe and welcoming environment for the Montego Bay community, a place to reconnect, and recharge. In the coming weeks, visitors will have access to free internet connectivity through Starlink, as well as phone charging stations, allowing families and community members to stay connected during this period of national recovery.
The reopening of Dunn’s River Falls and Park and Ocho Rios Bay Beach marks a significant step toward the return of normal operations within Jamaica’s tourism and recreation sectors. Our teams have worked diligently to conduct safety checks, remove debris, and ensure that all facilities are secure and ready to receive patrons once again.
The UDC thanks the public for its patience and continued support as we carry out recovery works across the island. These re-openings symbolize the Corporation’s commitment to national development, and the resilience and spirit of the Jamaican people.
Together, we are rebuilding, stronger, safer, and better
