Fun In Mobay like Negril...?

[IRIEchic]

My plans suddenly changed from Negril to Mobay due to an offer I couldnt refuse...lol..I will be staying at Sunset Beach Resort in Mobay...I"m a Negriller at heart and when I stay in Negril I usually go to Jungle, Margaritaville, Scrub A Dub live music on the beach spots like that just to give you a lil bit of what mi like...

So any information you can share of hot spots, must do' and live bands on the beach (my fav) would be great!
Also, are there any bike rentals in Mobay?

I posted in Mobay but no response so figured I'll post here with the experts

Thanks much!

There really isn't any place in MoBay like Negril, but you do have a some familiar choices. There is the Hip Strip that includes Margaritaville and BlueNotes which is a night club in a similar (but different) vein as the Jungle.

Your hotel will have some live entertainment since there aren't live weekly beach bands like there are in Negril. Some fun beach places include Doctors Cave Beach - one of the first major tourist beaches in Jamaica. There is a charge to use the beach, and a couple great places to eat and drink on at Doctors Cave.

Another interesting beach spot is located believe it or not at the very beginning of the airport runway. You can sit and enjoy cold drinks and great jerk chicken while watching the planes come in.

For something completely different, you may want to try the Montego Bay Yacht Club. You do not need to be a member to go to the bar and restaurant. The food is excellent and the view is great if you like a marina setting.

I am sure others will have some ideas - but this should get you started.

also . . . Cornwall Beach (next to Doctor's Cave - renovated within the last 2 years or so)

i spent 4 nights at Sunset Beach - loved it for what it was worth - hard to pull myself out of there --- that swim up bar has a seat with my name on it :-)

--- make reservations as soon as you get there to try the different restaurants (included) it was nice to be served and not do buffet all the time ,

nude beach :-)

and if you need anything just take 2 steps out the gates --- there are a plethora of drivers on the other side :-) i escaped out there a few times --- just to be able to talk with some Jamaicans

I think in mobay you are close to rocklands bird sanctuary if you are interested in that...it's supposed to be very cool.

lol.......you staying at the old SeaWinds Hotel(remember Ramboo?) which is now Sunset.......
they have a beach there as well as a pool etc but it's kinda an oasis there......
it's kinda removed from the main drag but you shouldn't have too much of a problem getting out....
it's no Negril but it's still Jamaica and there is always sumthin to do.......
be careful with a bike der.......drivers are nuts in Jamaica.....lol

Cool Runnings, Marko

lol yep the old seawinds --- the first time i stayed there - my mouth flew open when i say the old Cave (disco) was now the lobby --- most of the workers weren't born then lol --- spent a couple of NYE in there

sea urchins there --- take water shoes

for more local flavor --- check out Walter Fletcher beach (Aquasol)

Marko/Rambo - Do you still need the sharks teeth to buy a drink at the cave disco there? LOL

Try Peir 1 on the weekends. make sure to get jerk chicken at the Pork Pit. if your looking for something like scrub a dub there is a few strip bars in mo bay as well. won't be hard to find
