Best months: January, February, March, April and December.

What to see in Montego Bay

1. Doctor's Cave Beach
   This small stretch of pale sand sits right in the middle of Montego Bay, facing calm, clear water that makes you want to stay in the sea for hours.
2. Rose Hall Great House
   This Georgian great house sits on a hill above the north coast and combines careful architecture with the colonial history of Jamaica.
3. Chutes de Dunn's River (Ocho Rios, excursion)
   A waterfall that spills down wide limestone steps all the way to the Caribbean Sea, set in thick tropical greenery.
4. Luminous Lagoon (Falmouth)
   In this lagoon on the north coast, the water glows blue-green whenever it is disturbed, thanks to tiny bioluminescent organisms.
5. Martha Brae (radeau de bambou)
   Drifting down the Martha Brae River on a long bamboo raft, poled by a local captain, is one of the calmest ways to see the Trelawny countryside.
6. Hip Strip (Gloucester Ave)
   The Hip Strip is Montego Bay's seafront avenue, where visitors and locals mix between the sea, the terraces and music drifting out of the bars.
7. Rick's Café (Negril, excursion)
   Perched on the limestone cliffs of West End, in Negril, Rick's Café is one of the last places on the west coast where you can watch divers leap into the sea from the rocks at sunset.
8. Sam Sharpe Square
   This is the historic heart of Montego Bay, a small square named after Samuel Sharpe, a Jamaican national hero and leader of the 1831-1832 enslaved people's uprising.
