📍 Destination Overview
Montego Bay, Jamaica's premier tourist hub and second city, is a major cruise port. Doctor's Cave Beach, famed for clear turquoise water, is its star stretch; the 'Hip Strip' is lined with bars and restaurants, and Rose Hall tells the 'White Witch' legend. As reggae's birthplace, Bob Marley's legacy lives on everywhere; the climbable Dunn's River Falls is the island's most famous sight.
