Montego Bay port

Can you just walk to the beach to swim at the port or do you have to go to resort? Just wanting to chill at this stop.

you don't have to go to a resort

 

but the pier is in a fairly industrial area so you probably want to take a taxi to a public beach, Doctors Cave being the most popular and about 2.75 miles . . .

 

there are closer beaches but I believe they ARE associated with resorts ....

I agree Dr. Cave beach is the best bet if you aren't going to do a resort. It only costs a few bucks to take the bus - you get a little tour along the way. They beach is like 6 bucks a person... And another 6 bucks or so for chairs. Great little beach. Near downtown so you can do a little shopping too. We will be there in a few weeks :)
