Negril is a resort town on the western coast of Jamaica, in the Caribbean. It is well known for Seven Mile Beach, a long stretch of sand that gives visitors plenty of room to walk, swim and simply sit and watch the water. The town is a place where many travellers come to slow down.
What a visit is like
Negril suits a relaxed holiday. Much of the appeal lies in the beach itself and in the rhythm of the days spent near it. The western coast is also known for its sunsets, and the town's cliffs are a favourite spot for watching the sky change colour as the sun goes down. Some visitors come to see the cliff divers, who jump into the sea below the rocks.
Around the town
- Seven Mile Beach, a broad strip of sand along the coast
- The cliffs, where the western sunsets are often watched
- Cliff diving, a traditional attraction of the area
- Restaurants and places to stay along the coast, suited to a leisurely stay
Negril works well for visitors who want a beach-centred trip on Jamaica's western side. Those who plan to explore further afield can use the town as a base, while those who prefer to stay put will find the beach and the evenings enough to fill their time.
