About This James Bond Filming Location

Green Grotto Caves Entrance sits along Jamaica's north coast near Ocho Rios, a limestone maze whose chambers shimmer with emerald pools and torch-lit echoes. Formed over millennia by seawater and mineral deposition, the caves grew into a storied hideaway during Jamaica's colonial era and later became an iconic backdrop for film and folklore. Today, the site blends natural wonder with cinematic lore: winding passages, stalactites, and the soft hush of visitors exploring the carved recesses. The surrounding grounds offer a tropical atmosphere of lush foliage, warm water, and a sense of mystery that lingers after you leave the cave interiors.
