Montego Bay
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.

No trip to Mo Bay is complete without a stop at the famous Pork Pit. It's right on the main strip in town and easy to locate. At the Pork Pit, you will find Jamaica's best jerk chicken and pork cooked over coals. Don't miss it!

Depending on which area of Montego Bay you are staying, you will be taken to one of three ATV sites! Montpelier: Ride through some 3000 acres of the Montpelier property. Your journey will take you past historic ruins and amazing vistas as you bob and weave through a working citrus plantation.
