The Gloucester Avenue (also known as the “hip strip”) in Montego Bay is the place to be for anyone visiting or living in Jamaica. You have about 13 hotels, over 60 shops, and over 35 bars and restaurants on the ‘hip strip.’ There are local beaches including the world renowned Doctor’s Cave Beach. There are banks and car rentals facilities on the ‘hip strip’ as well. You can start at one end which is a dead end where you can watch the planes land at the Montego Bay airport as the runway is only yards away.

Purchase a wide range of straw and wooden souvenirs. The selection also includes T–shirts, hats, dolls and other novelties. Each brightly coloured little wooden shop is stocked with authentic Jamaican craft items. The lilt of the Jamaican accent adds a musical touch, as vendors try to get tourists to take a look and purchase a little piece of Jamaica to take back home. It’s impossible to walk the streets of Montego Bay without running into a few crafts dealers, but your best bet for high quality goods is the Crafts Market at Harbour Street or on the Hipstrip.

This downtown area offers a variety of handmade leather, wood, and straw souvenirs. Items you are likely to encounter include straw hats, musical instruments, and beads.
