Montego Bay

Montego Bay is the parish capital of Jamaica's parish of St. James. The city is the fourth-largest urban area in the country by population, following Kingston, Spanish Town, and Portmore, which together form the Greater Kingston Metropolitan Area, which is home to over 500,000 people. As a result, Montego Bay is the Caribbean's second-largest anglophone city, after Kingston. The Donald Sangster International Airport, the busiest in the Anglophone Caribbean, is located within the city limits and serves the city. The city is surrounded by a watershed, which is drained by several rivers, including the Montego River.

Montego Bay is a popular tourist destination with duty-free shopping, a cruise ship terminal, and a number of beaches and resorts. Visitors looking for some off-campus fun can visit the touristy Hip Strip, a bustling thoroughfare of shops and restaurants that lines Doctor's Cave Beach, a popular stretch of sand frequented by both locals and visitors. Secrets Wild Orchid is the clear winner for those looking for an upscale, adults-only stay in Montego Bay, while Breathless Montego Bay Resort & Spa is the clear winner for those looking for a hip party vibe. Rose Hall, about 15 minutes north of Montego Bay, is a quieter and more upscale resort area.
