Island adventures in Montego Bay

• The second largest city on the island, Montego Bay is a Mecca of tourist activity. Duty-free shopping allows for great deals on china, crystal and cigars.
  
• Outside the city, you can tour several working plantations and historic mansions. The tours explain how coffee, pineapples and other indigenous crops are cultivated.
• The Rose Hall Great House, now restored, is the former home of Annie Palmer, who allegedly killed three men. It is said that her ghost still haunts the manor.
• Appleton Estate is the home of the Appleton rum family. You can tour the distillery and sample the rum.
• A typical pastime for visitors is the ever-so-popular river rafting adventures along the Martha Brae River. You can relax in the sun as you cruise through the beautiful overgrowth lining the water.
• For a more active pursuit, you will want to stop by the 6,000-acre marine reserve with everything from pristine beaches to hip nightclubs. Montego Bay Marine Park offers divers, snorkelers, sailors and windsurfers a paradise of clear, tranquil waters and magnificent coral reefs. Land-dwellers can practice their swing at one of the four championship links or choose from several tennis courts. The amusement park, a new addition, guarantees fun in the sun with waterslides and go-karts. Finish of the day with a drink at a sports bar or listen to the newest hits at an updated disco.
