Doctor's Cave Beach

Doctor's Cave Beach Review

Montego Bay's tourist scene has its roots right on the Hip Strip, the bustling entertainment district along Gloucester Avenue. Here a sea cave whose waters were said to have healing powers drew travelers from around the world. Although the cave was destroyed by a hurricane generations ago, the beach is always busy and has a perpetual spring-break feel. It has the best facilities in Jamaica, thanks to the plantation-style clubhouse with changing rooms, showers, gift shop, restaurant, and Internet café. There's a $5 fee for admission; beach chairs and umbrellas are also for rent. Its location within the Montego Bay Marine Park—where there are protected coral reefs and plenty of marine life—makes it a good spot for snorkeling. More active travelers can opt for parasailing, glass-bottom boat rides, or jet skiing.
