re: Is Montego Bay, Jamaica a family destination place?

A friend and I walked with my kid from the private beach all the way to the Pork Pit with no problems. Tons of very nice police on foot along the way. Took pictures with several. Locals weren't pushy with their wares like other places.

Wife, her aunt, and wheel chair-bound grandmother went on their own to some flea markets. The locals flooded them with attention but no problems, either. Nice people--even pushed around the grandmother.

Wife's other aunt and husband went further inland for a river excursion. No problems for them, either. Liked Montego so much that they got married there a couple years later.

Loved seeing the kids coming home from school dressed in their uniforms. Looked nicer than some students in US schools.

The taxi driver offered us drugs on the way back, but I would've been disappointed to not have the full Jamaican experience before leaving.

Absolutely beautiful water.
