The heart of Jamaica’s Riviera section is the resort destination of Montego Bay. Known to the locals as “MoBay”, flights to Montego Bay are packed with travelers eager to dip their toes into the smooth white sands of the Jamaican coast. Whether you’re taking off for a weekend with your girlfriends or planning a romantic getaway with your special someone, a flight to Montego Bay is the first step toward a vacation in paradise.

Aside from the 10-mile shoreline and aquamarine waters, Montego Bay actually plays a pivotal role in world history.

Montego Bay Insider Information

  • Samuel Sharpe, the slave who helped expedite the emancipation on Jamaica, was born on Montego Bay and today remains a national hero. He grew up on a 24-mile plantation and today, three-hour guided tours of the Croydon coffee and pineapple plantation have become a must-do in Montego Bay. You'll savor some of the best exotic fruits on the island and get some insight into pineapple and coffee production.
  • Join the bathing club in Doctor's Cave. The famous beach club started in 1906 when a group of doctors formed a bathing club on beach property. The only access to the private beach area was through a cave, hence the name. The cave was destroyed by a hurricane in 1932, but the bathing club beach has lived on. Today, travelers can access the beach from Montego Bay's Gloucester Avenue. The entranceway is lined with changing rooms, showers, gift shops and bars.
  • Don't miss a stop at the Montego Bay Marine Park. Anyone can visit the park but depending on what you want to do will depend on what zone you stay in. To conserve natural resources, different zones are designated for different activities (watersports and fishing, for example). Private operators also run undersea submarine tours of the reefs.
