Rio Bueno is a coastal town in the district of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, located on the southwest coast of the Caribbean Sea. The mainstay of the economy is fishing and agriculture, and it produces tropical crops such as bananas and sugar cane. Its name means "good river" in Spanish, which is derived from the clear river that flows through it.
Mangrove wetlands and coral reef ecosystems surround the town, making it a popular spot for bird watching and eco-tourism. The local culture is a blend of African, Spanish and British colonial heritage, with unique traditional music and festivals. Not far from town is the mouth of the Black River, Jamaica's longest river.
Rio Bueno is connected to major cities such as Montego Bay and Kingston via the A2 highway. In addition to agriculture, a small port supports regional trade, and in recent years ecotourism and cultural heritage tourism have gradually developed. The town retains its colonial architecture, which reflects the tranquility of rural Jamaica.
