Mini Guide to Montego Bay
Known fondly as Mo’Bay, it is blessed with superb natural features, year-round sunshine, a stunning coastline indented with white sand beaches and warm azure blue water. Most of the beach life centres on Doctor’s Cave, famed for its coral gardens and relaxed atmosphere. Nearby Gloucester Avenue is where tourists head for duty-free bargains and souvenir shops and is also home to the Pork Pit, where you can buy traditional Jamaican jerked chicken and pork. At the end of Gloucester Avenue is Montego Bay’s latest attraction, the Aqua Sol theme park.
The heart of Montego Bay is Sam Sharpe Square, named after a slave leader who was executed after his sit-down protest escalated into a major uprising in 1831. Aside from relaxing the warm Caribbean sun, visitors to Montego Bay can also take excursions to some of the island’s finest colonial-era houses, many of which are within walking distance of the town centre. Hotels in the area include some of the finest and most exclusive in the whole Caribbean, a host of package resorts, and small family-run establishments ideal for independent travellers.
The busiest time of year in tropical Montego Bay is during the drier months between December and April. Temperatures rise during the summer, but so does the chance of getting caught in heavy rain showers. Donald Sangster International Airport, which is served by Air Jamaica, British Airways and a host of charter airlines, is just three miles from the town centre.
