About Hip Strip

The Hip Strip is the heartbeat of Montego Bay — a mile-long stretch of Gloucester Avenue running from the airport roundabout to Doctor's Cave Beach. Hotels, restaurants, bars, and craft vendors line both sides of the road, and the energy is relentless from dawn to well past midnight.

Doctor's Cave Beach is the anchor — calm turquoise water, fine white sand, and the mineral spring that put Montego Bay on the tourism map in the 1920s. The Margaritaville complex sits at the north end with waterslides, trampolines, and an open-air party that runs from noon to 2 AM.

Dead End Beach (now Sunset Beach) at the far end of the strip is free, public, and one of the best sunset spots in MoBay. The Hip Strip is where first-time visitors to Jamaica usually land — and the energy never disappoints.
