Hip Strip (Gloucester Avenue)
The Hip Strip is ideal for party-goers visiting Montego Bay. It’s a lively area, so it might not be suitable for those looking for a mellow, off-the-beaten-track experience or for small children.
With so many shops selling similar souvenirs and t-shirts, feel free to gently haggle for better prices.
Along the Hip Strip are access points to popular beaches like Cornwall or Doctor’s Cave. Some beaches have small admission fees that would be included if visiting as part of a tour.
While safer than the downtown area of Montego Bay, use your discretion and stay in the more populated areas, especially at night.
