You can't find a better beach destination in Montego Bay than Doctor's Cave Beach, and since everyone knows it, you may as well join the daily celebration on the sand. And there is plenty to celebrate. The beach is five miles long and is bordered by the city's best hotels and restaurants. Named after a local doctor who donated the land and a now-closed coastal cave, Doctor's Cave Beach helped establish Montego Bay as a resort town. It's best to go early (they open at 8:30am) to pick up a spot and rent a chair and umbrella. Admission is $6.
