571. Gloria's Seafood Restaurant

Gloria’s Seafood Restaurant has two locations ,  and is a must for anyone who appreciates seafood (US$10 for a fried fish and bammy). Gloria died a few years ago, but her legacy lives on with her children now running the business. Service can be slow owing to the crowds that swarm in, especially on Friday evenings and after church on Sundays.

577. Sights

About 1.5 kilometers before reaching Bull Bay, a sign for Cane River Falls marks a left off the main road onto Greendale Road by Nine Mile Square. The attraction is on the right just before a bridge and cannot be missed. The "falls" are nothing to write home about compared to other falls across Jamaica and hardly justify the US$3 entrance fee.
