The Montego Bay Lifestyle

One of the most appealing things about Montego Bay is the general lifestyle you get to live while you are here. Did I mention that I live in Montego Bay? So I know all about living here. Mobay as we call it, has a laid-back atmosphere and our friendly locals are kind and always eager to help. The beaches here are considered to be some of the best on the entire island and as a resident you get an unlimited amount of opportunity to revel in its tranquil waters.

Just as music is the heart of Jamaica, it reflects strongly in our second city. We have live music venues and annual festivals that add to the city’s lively spirit. Then there is the food, with so much to choose from like casual dining options and fine dining restaurants you will never get bored.
