First full day in Montego Bay, Jamaica. This is the main beach in the town called Doctor’s Cave. Not bad!  Get there early to avoid crowds and get a good spot on the beach. There are trees at certain spots for shade, or rent an umbrella. The water was warm, especially nice since it was snowing back home!

We are doing Jamaica the unusual way, not through a cruise ship or resort. We found a house through Booking.com and rented a car (a must in my view if you don’t stay in a resort).  In the next few posts I will talk about the food / restaurants and other aspects.

If you stay in a resort, you are a little insulated from the culture of the island. You may have all the comforts and amenities (at a price) but you miss interfacing with the people. What you choose depends on your style of tourism.
