Montego Bay...Home of The "Hip Strip"
Located on the North Coast, Montego Bay is Jamaica's second largest city and largest resort destination
and offers beaches, nightlife, water sports, golf, fine dining and great duty free shopping.
Swinging with sports and hot spots, Mo Bay is the islands playground capital.
A favourite with visitors since the turn of the century, Montego Bays beaches (Doctor's Cave Beach,
Walter Fletcher Beach, Tropical Beach, Rose Hall Beach) are just a short hop from the airport.
The bay is famous for clear waters and coral reef just off the coast. The Marine Park comprised of 10 sq.
miles of coral reefs offers excellent scuba diving and snorkeling. Take a glass bottom boat trip to view the
underwater spectacle or enjoy the reef (without getting wet) aboard MoBay Underseas Tours.
Nightlife of every kind will keep you hopping until the wee hours on the "Hip Strip". Hotels and nightclubs
are open to the public along Gloucester so experience the music of Jamaica, reggae, soca, R & B or dance hall.
Or try your luck at the "slots". Jazz, Pub style entertainment / darts and disco are also readily available.

Sport and water sports are well represented and include tennis, cricket, polo, horseback riding, parasailing,

craft shops featuring straw goods and local wood carvings. Art Galleries and Duty Free shops with a wide
variety of goods from crystal, perfumes, leather goods, boutique clothing, liquor, Italian gold and
