About Montego Bay, Jamaica
Known locally as ‘MoBay’ or just ‘Bay,’ Montego Bay is one of the most popular destinations in Jamaica and has more than earned its title as the tourist capital. It is easily accessed by air and sea thanks to its popular cruise port and busy airport. Many of Montego Bay’s beaches and hotspots are located within walking distance from both the cruise port and the airport but if you need a taxi, there’s always one available.
There are two main parts to Montego Bay: Downtown and Gloucester Avenue, or the Hip Strip. Downtown is busy and crowded, especially during the daytime as locals go about their day. It’s a great way to see what life in Jamaica is like away from the resorts and hotels but you’ll likely want to spend most of your time on Gloucester Avenue. The lively Hip Strip is ideal for a stroll, offering a wad of activities, shopping, cuisine, and iconic entertainment hotspots.
