The coastal area east of Montego Bay’s airport, known as “The Elegant Corridor”, is home to a number of notable resorts and golf courses leading from Ironshore up to the Rose Hall Great House and the Montego Bay Convention Center. This stretch of sidewalk recently underwent renovations, including brand new lighting. Although the sidewalk is safe, there is plenty of traffic along this main roadway, the A1. Don’t expect a quiet run, but you can enjoy plenty of great scenery on this long 7.9 km strip. Bonus: lit at night.
