Montego Bay Beach Doctor's Cave Beach is located in the heart of the Hip Strip. One of the best things to do in Montego Bay with kids is to rent a beach chair and umbrella for the day and the kids will be entertained playing in the sand and cooling off in that gorgeous blue Caribbean Sea. There is an on site restaurant and cybercafe if you need to check your email (or in my case if your teen needs to update his facebook status!).
Also on the Hip Strip is Walter Fletcher Beach which is home to Aquasol Theme Park. There is plenty for the whole family to do including ocean trampolines, water sports and even a go kart track! Make sure to stop by and see the parrots too. This is a great beach to bring babies and toddlers.

Beach Jamaica, footprint on beach Get a day pass at Sunset Beach Resort and enjoy the Pirates Paradise water park . Afterwards drop the kids off at the kid's club while you relax in the beachfront jacuzzi. This is one of the most enjoyable family friendly Montego Bay activities.

Visit one of the many Handicraft Markets for some shopping. Have the kids test their bargaining skills for a souvenir to bring home. Pick out a Jamaican doll, T-shirt or a drum. Be warned though the market is not for the faint of heart. Teens will want to spent hours here!

Teenagers will have fun visiting Margaritaville when you travel to Jamaica. This lively beach bar and restaurant has a 120 foot water slide from the roof into the ocean. Wow! Enjoy the reggae music while the kids jump on the ocean trampolines . This is at the top of the list of Montego Bay things to do with older children. My teens want to move into this place!!

Rockland bird sanctuary is home to many species of birds native to Jamaica. Toddlers and young children will get a kick out of hand feeding the birds while traveling in Mobay. There are lots of colorful birds to see including Jamaica's national bird-the doctor hummingbird.
