Is that a hint of mystery in the air? It certainly is here at Umbrella Point. This dramatic cape juts out into the Caribbean Sea, a silent sentinel guarding the approaches to Montego Bay. You might wonder about its curious name. Well, legend has it that pirates seeking refuge from storms would gather here, their huddled forms resembling a cluster of umbrellas. Umbrella Point has seen it all. From the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1494 to the bustling port that thrives today, this point has borne witness to Montego Bay’s dramatic transformation. Imagine the whispers of Spanish conquistadors lured by tales of “El Golfo the Buen Tiempo,” the “Gulf of Good Weather.” Picture the feverish activity as Montego Bay, or “Bahia de Mantega”, became a bustling hub for the export of lard, a trade that would lend the city its unusual name. Gaze out at the endless horizon and let the stories of Umbrella Point wash over you, stories as timeless and vast as the ocean itself.
