Located on the western-most cost of the island of Jamaica, visitors to Negril are benefitted with breathtaking sunsets over the sea on a nightly basis. The geographical structure of the city gives you a unique choice between watching said sunsets from famous Seven Mile Beach to the north or the cliffs located to the south; both options are perfect. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway such as a honeymoon then you can’t go wrong with staying at the cliffs where cliffside bungalows offer privacy, gorgeous views, and typically private access to swimming in the ocean.
We strongly recommend you partake in cliff jumping yourself where you’ll jump from comfortable heights into the sea below. Rick’s Café is known for its cliffs for visitors to use and even higher raised platforms for professional divers. Head there to watch these divers perform amazing flips and tricks.
The beachside in town is littered with quaint bars where you can shoot pool with locals and purchase jerk chicken from street vendors. Reserve at least one night to hang out with the Jamaicans listening to Bob Marley, sipping Red Stripe, and chowing down on barrel-cooked jerk chicken.
Seven Mile Beach has resorts lined up, one after the next against the public beach. However, because it’s public the nighttime activities are interesting; you can drop by one resort for a drink and enjoy their entertainment for a while, then move along to the next. Sure, the typical beach activities are available too, but be sure to enjoy the uniqueness of this arrangement above all.
