Just outside of Montego Bay, in the Ironshore area, you’ll find one of the coolest, little-known beachfront bars and restaurants: Memorabilia Bar & Grill. A favorite haunt of some reggae stars as well as locals and expats, it’s the perfect daytime escape from the crowds, with an on-site seafood restaurant, serving seafood and burgers, as well as cheap drinks (under US$5 for a rum punch). The kicker: there’s a small but gorgeous white sand beach with an eclectic assortment of chairs. You’ll feel a world away from the city yet a ten-minute drive away. There’s even an over-the-water gazebo where you can sip on your cocktail and take in the blissful Caribbean breeze.
