As a second city and major tourist hub in Jamaica, Montego Bay is one of the best places for a vibrant vacation. We could say it's the food, the people, entertainment and more, but I know that our beaches are also a major reason why it is so loved by visitors and locals alike. If you are staying at an all-inclusive resort you may not need to venture off property as most do have a private beach. However for those staying at properties with a beach, here are the best beaches in Montego Bay, in my opinion.

But hold on, before I list them, let me tell you why they are the best.
Safety: These beaches have security officers on the property plus lifeguards on duty.
- Facilities: Their facilities are modern and clean plus the surroundings are well maintained.
- Activities: There is a lot to do: to swim, sunbathe, water sports, lawn sports etc.
- Food: restaurants and bars on site.
1. Doctor’s Cave Beach
Doctor’s Cave Beach is perhaps the most iconic beach in Montego Bay! For as long as I know it has always been considered the best beach in Montego Bay. It’s known for its clear, calm waters and immaculate sands. It’s also a part of the Montego Bay Marine Park, which boasts vibrant coral reefs, making it ideal for those who love snorkelling.
They have top-tier facilities, including clean changing rooms (with mirrors), showers, and lavatories. You can rent beach chairs and umbrellas and the fee is reasonable. They also have the Tony Hart Members Clubhouse which provides additional amenities like a fitness centre, sauna, and steam baths to add a touch of luxury to your visit.
You can not take food on the property, however there is a decent restaurant and a Starbucks cafe on site.
Address: Jimmy Cliff Boulevard, Montego Bay, Jamaica
2. Tropical Bliss Beach
Tropical Bliss Beach offers a more private and secluded beach experience with a relaxed atmosphere. This private beach club provides a range of amenities, including chair and cabana rentals, personal butler services, and various water activities like kayaking and water trampolines.
This beach is also known for its vibrant entertainment and dining options, with Jamaican cuisine served right on the beach. While it can get crowded when cruise ships are in port, it remains a top choice for those looking to enjoy the beach in style.
Address: 9 Kent Ave, Montego Bay, Jamaica
3. Harmony Beach Park
Harmony Beach Park is a newer addition to Montego Bay's beach lineup but has quickly become one of my favourites. This 16-acre park offers free access to a stunning white sand beach, lush green spaces, and a 600-meter jogging trail,.
The park features a wide range of facilities, including showers, restrooms, changing rooms, and lockers. Families will appreciate the playground and basketball court, while adventurers can enjoy the inflatable obstacle course in the water. With lifeguards on duty and ample space for picnics or larger gatherings, Harmony Beach Park is a top destination for both locals and tourists.
Address: Howard Cooke Boulevard & Jimmy Cliff Boulevard, Montego Bay, Jamaica
4. Pineapple Beach
Pineapple Beach is a hidden gem (easy to miss) located just outside Montego Bay in Unity Hall. This beach offers a tranquil, eco-friendly experience with glamping options and a beach bar. The relaxed atmosphere and stunning views make it a perfect spot for those looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Jamaica.
Pineapple Beach is ideal for visitors seeking a more intimate and peaceful beach experience without the crowds, offering a true escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Address: Unity Hall, Dr Aston King Hwy, Montego Bay, Jamaica
5. Sea Island Beach Club
This is probably the least popular on this list, but still worth a visit. Sea Island Beach Club offers a chic and authentic beach experience, set on one of the Caribbean’s most iconic coastlines. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, this beach is perfect for those who want to enjoy good food, great company, and stunning views in a more intimate setting.
Although smaller than nearby beaches, Sea Island Beach Club stands out for its exceptional service and pristine sand and water. It's free to enter, with costs only for food and drinks, making it a great spot to relax and take in the beauty of Montego Bay.
Address: Gloucester Avenue, Montego Bay, Jamaica
Each of these beaches in Montego Bay offers something special, so no matter which one you choose, you’re guaranteed a memorable experience.
