Welcome to Montego Bay!
The tourism capital of
Jamaica
and the second largest city behind
Kingston,
Montego Bay has a variety of popular destinations and attractions. Widely dubbed
the Friendly City, the locals strive to create an atmosphere of community and
belonging amid the tropical scenery. The spectacular beaches draw visitors from
around the world.
Dead
End Beach is a quiet refuge while
Walter
Fletcher Beach is a popular and pristine stretch of white sand with sparkling
blue waters. The laid back atmosphere and distinct culinary offerings, including
jerk chicken, have earned the area a stellar reputation as a truly relaxing vacation
destination. Several stately homes still remain, some dating back to the 1700's.
Rose
Hall Great House is rumoured to be haunted by its original maniacal owner
