About Montego Bay
Located on Jamaica’s northwest coast is the islands most popular resort. Montego Bay or ‘Mo’ Bay’ as the relaxed locals call it, offers everything from great beaches to duty free shopping, and it is also your gateway to historical and natural attractions further afield.
A Spanish colony in the 1500’s and a primary sugar port during the epoch of slavery in the 17th and 18th century, it has an interesting past. Visit one of the colonial houses such as Rose Hall. Formerly the home of Annie Palmer, known as the ‘White Witch of Rose Hall’, this plantation house still evokes memories of her monstrous reign as mistress.
If you are looking for beautiful white sands, head to one of the best spots in town, Doctor’s Cave Beach. With its clear turquoise waters and surrounding landscape of picturesque low mountains, it is a real sun seekers paradise. Alternatively, glide down the miles of flourishing forest on a raft ride down the Martha Brae River.
