About Montego Bay
Montego Bay's Doctor's Cave Beach earned its name from colonial physicians believing the water had healing properties—today it's packed with cruise passengers testing the theory. Beyond the main beach, reggae rhythms pulse through colorful streets, and jerk stands offer smoke-blackened chicken that's pure Jamaica. Nearby Falmouth preserves Georgian architecture while Montego Bay itself embraces beach resort chaos.
