Developed in 1880 by Dr. Alexander McCatty, Doctor’s beach is often referred to as a bathing club. It has been known as a top Jamaican beach for the last century. Make sure to stop by this attraction when you are in Montego Bay, as its temperature range is between 78 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.

For a $6.00 day pass, you can share the same beach as local members. For the same amount, you can rent umbrellas, pool floats, and chairs to make your time spent here a lifetime memory. The history and accessibility of Doctor’s Cave makes it one of the top Jamaican tourist attractions.

Take a trip to the north coast of Jamaica to the town of Ocho Rios (which means “8 Rivers” in Spanish.) As a port of call for cruise ships, the town has a variety of family-friendly vacation activities, including scuba diving and other water sports. At nearby Dolphin Cove, you can swim with trained dolphins — a memory that will last you and your family a lifetime.

Ocho Rios is also where many believe Columbus took his first steps on Jamaica’s shores. Also, the first James Bond film, Dr. No, was filmed here. More recently, Piranha II: The Spawning’s primary filming location was also in Ocho Rios.
