Doctor's Cave Beach (Montego Bay)

Doctor's Cave is one of the most visited beaches in Montego Bay. But it does charge an entry fee, which can serve as a deterrent for some. Many, however, are willing to fork over the dollars to enter Doctor's Cave, play in the quiet waves, enjoy the safety of lifeguards and have ready access to the available water sports, changing rooms and beach bars. The beach's popularity means that you're likely to encounter crowds (especially on days when cruise ships are in Montego Bay's port) and high food prices. 

A trip to Doctor's Cave means you'll have the opportunity to rent equipment for snorkeling, kayaking, riding water scooters and other aquatic activities. Umbrellas, towels and beach chairs are also available for rent. But some travelers were chagrined at all the nickeling and diming, even though they admit to having a great experience. 

Admission to the beach costs $6 per day (or $3 per day for children). Chairs, umbrellas and floats can be rented for an additional daily fees. Doctor's Cave beach is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit Doctor's Cave's website.
