Montego Bay Highlights & Shopping

In a drive-by, view the historic Parish Church dedicated to the memory of St James the Great. Its limestone walls and bell tower were built in 1774. Pause at Grandview for photos of your ship in port, the beautiful land, and seascapes.

Watch for the international airport named after the second Prime Minister of Jamaica, Sir Donald Sangster, and catch a view of the Rose Hall Great House in the distance.  

In the Ironshore area, you will appreciate the contrast between residential communities with middle-class houses and the ostentatious display of architecture offered by the luxury homes nearby. 

Enjoy some free time for shopping at Main Street/Shoppes at Rose Hall. Cool off with a non-alcoholic tropical drink at the Rum Yard.  Duty-free items, including watches, crystal, Italian handbags, Indian silks, Jamaican rum, and all manner of liquors and liqueurs, are available here.   

Travel past the Hip Strip and Doctor's Cave Beach. The latter was once the playground for the rich and famous. 

Join in the vibe at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville before moving on to the handicrafts market for more shopping. Here, you can buy handmade Jamaican souvenirs, including straw hats and bags, wooden platters, handwoven straw items, musical instruments, beads, carved objects, wall hangings, and wood sculptures.
