The last time I went which was a few years ago, they stressed not going around by yourself. Driving to my hotel you passed thru lots of poverty and people just hanging around. The hotel was all inclusive and you could book tours and activities thru the hotel which was great because I was travelling alone.

I've visited Montego Bay Jamaica a number of years ago,

I would highly recommend an all inclusive, the streets at night can be dangerous. Don't mess around after dark there...

But I loved my visit there, HOT< Nice Beaches.

All yea expect to be approached and offered Ganga, At least I was approached...

VERY, VERY, BEAUTIFUL...

Have Fun!

happy place

Yes, be very careful about drugs. When I was leaving Jamaica they first had our suitcases outside the plane and this official was urging his dog to inspect them. wow

If you're going on a tour that is not link to a hotel or tour campany be careful. Tours are 100% safe with these companies..If not, find a Jamaican who u know. It is safe on the north coast where u should be touring. You'll be irie man!!! its not that bad.
peace
