Montego Bay Packing List Tips by Dabs Top 5 Page for this destination

Luggage and bags: Bring a waterproof beach bag if you are going out on the water, things get wet when you are on a boat

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you are planning on visiting any of the falls or wading out into the water (lots of sea urchins-ouch!), a pair of aqua shoes is a good investment. I saw lots of people wearing their tennis shoes which I assume would stay wet for the rest of the trip.

If you are staying at an all inclusive, you should pack at least a nice pair of pants (men) and a skirt/sundress (women) if you plan on going to the reservation only restaurants.

A hat is also a good idea, the part on my head always burns and then peels

Sunglasses, bathing suit, sandals, tshirt

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunscreen!!!! The sun is very intense in Jamaica. Aloe is a good thing to have if you get burned.

Unless you are in a high end resort, don't assume they will have all the necessary toiletries. Our all inclusive only had bath gel and shampoo, no lotion or bar soap or conditioner.

Photo Equipment: Underwater camera-I missed out on manatee shots because I forgot to buy one, they don't have them out in the country. A disposable camera is also not a bad idea if you are planning on being out on the water in case it gets wet

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Snorkel gear, most resorts will have it but it's nice to use your own mask and snorkel

Miscellaneous: I do a lot of reading on beach vacations, all the magazines I've not had the time to read or maybe that 700 page book that I've been meaning to tackle

If you are at an AI, bring along a water bottle or mug otherwise you'll be drinking out of tiny plastic cups or buying a mug at the resort.

Extra plastic bags come in handy for carrying home wet bathing suits
