The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay in Half Moon Bay, Calif., was named to GOLF's list of the Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World. Learn more here.

Half Moon is just seven miles from the Montego Bay Airport which means you can push your vacation right up to the finish line with very little worry. And yet it feels far from Jamaica proper.

Half Moon Bay may be a small town, and a slow one (in the best possible sense). But it also punches above its weight — there’s more to explore (and eat) than in most destinations this size.
