Montego Bay or Mo Bay as it is known,is how most visitors first see Jamaica as they approach by air. This north coast community is the capital of Jamaica's tourism industry. Most visitors arrive by air but it is also a popular cruise ship destination. If you are looking for a taxi to take you to your hotel look out for the PPV licence plates as these indicate legitimate taxis.
Several "Great Houses," which once oversaw hugh sugar plantations, are today notable visitor attractions. Rose Hall is one of the best-known and is an easy afternoon visit for Montego Bay guests. Rose Hall was once the home of the notorious Annie Palmer, better known as the White Witch. According to legend, Annie murdered several of her husbands and slave lovers.
