Montego Bay Travel Guide
From Wikitravel
Montego Bay is in Jamaica.
Commonly referred to as Mo Bay, Montego Bay on the island's north shore, is the second city in Jamaica, after Kingston. Montego Bay has long since earned the title of 'tourist capital of Jamaica.' It receives the bulk of international flights, being home to Sangster International Airport, the larger of Jamaica's two main international airports.
Today the city is known for its large regional hospital (Cornwall General), port facilities, second homes for numerous upper class Jamaicans from Kingston as well as Americans and Europeans, fine restaurants, and shopping opportunities. Surrounding coast land is occupied by numerous tourist resorts, some newly built, some occupying the grounds of old Sugar Cane plantations with some of the original buildings and mill-works still standing. The most famous of these are the "White Witch's" Rose Hall and Tryall - both of which now sport world-class golf courses.
