Montego Bay or Mo Bay is the first taste most visitors have of the island as it's home of the north shore airport. The second largest city on the island and the busiest cruise pier, you'll find travelers from around the world coming and going in this bustling community year around.

The name Montego is derived from "manteca," or lard in Spanish. The reason is simple: the Spanish once shipped the hogs they butchered up in the mountains from this port city.

Throughout the past century it has been tourists, not hogs, shipped in and out of this port. In 1924 Jamaican tourism got its start right here and there has been no looking back since then.

Today you'll find some of the island's best all-inclusive resorts just miles from the airport, making this an excellent destination for lovers with a short honeymoon schedule. It's also top with lovers who love to golf, thanks to several world-renowned courses in the area.
