No one is in a rush to go anywhere…well, except for taxi drivers. Officially on Montego Bay aka Mobay time, moments are counted in experiences not minutes. Among the smokey jerk restaurants, hustlers, souvenir shops, and somewhere in between there’s a detectable rhythm unique to Mobay’s city streets. Yet, there’s also the smooth tourist countenance that jumps from the pages of glossy Caribbean magazines. The two sides collide and provide a potpourri of things to do in Montego Bay. Positioned on the north-west end of Jamaica, a trip to one of Mobay’s beautiful sandy beaches might be your first instinct.
But venture beyond the oh-so-inviting waters is a lot more waiting to be explored. In this list of things to do in Montego Bay, I’ll take you through the city treasures, down scenic rapids, and up mountainous reserves.
