Introduction:

Montego Bay is a thriving port and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean. Recognised as Jamaica's second-largest city, Mobay (as it is affectionately called) offers every type of land and water sport one could imagine, along with excellent shops, first-rate restaurants and electrifying late-night activities. The scenic countryside surrounding the city also contains many historic sites of interest .

Montego Bay has been a tourist resort since the start of the century when visitors were encouraged to use the famous 'Doctor's Cave Beach' for health reasons. The curative
powers of the seawater were popularised in England by the chiropractor Sir Herbert Baker.

In the heart of Montego Bay is Sam Sharpe Square , named for the slave who led the Rebellion of 1831. Sam Sharpe Square is the center of activity in Montego Bay . Arts and crafts booths line the narrow streets, with vendors selling everything from fish, fruit and vegetables to T-shirts and brightly colored hats.
