Family Vacation In Montego Bay, Jamaica
|
Family vacations in Montego Bay , or Mo Bay as it is usually referred to, is the center of Jamaican tourism and market town for a large part of western Jamaica. Montego Bay on Jamaica's northwest coast is the classic Jamaica resort centre and second largest city on the island. Montego Bay is old, it dates back to 1492, yet Montego Bay is one of the most modern cities in the Caribbean. There is a superb view onto the clear Caribbean waters - the main tourist attraction - and the long reef protecting the bay. Most of the Jamaica resorts are found on a strip of coastline about a mile and a half long. |
There are three main beaches in Montego Bay : Doctor's Cave Beach which has beautiful white sand, and where the exceptionally clear water is believed to be fed by mineral springs; Walter Fletcher Beach, nearest the centre and a short walk from the Upper Deck Hotel; and Cornwall Beach, which is a few yards from the local Tourist Board Office.
A short way inland from the Bay is Rose Hall , Jamaica's most famous Great House, fully restored on a sugar plantation. South of Montego Bay, in Anchovy, is Rocklands Feeding Station is home to some of the most exotic birds in the world, such as the mango hummingbird, orange quit and the national bird of Jamaica, the Doctor Bird. Visitors are able to feed the birds (check times).
