World-famous sunsets and a laid-back vibe make negril more than just an enchanting beach town.

Seven Mile Beach is certainly not the only beach worth visiting in Negril. Bloody Bay Beach — often called “the other Negril beach” — is popular amongst the locals and is equally beautiful and relaxing.

The Negril Marine Park located at the Negril Environmental Protection Area is a favourite amongst all nature lovers, especially those in love with marine life. The park is divided into several recreational zones and provides a unique opportunity to view the local marine ecosystem. The park encompasses the coastline, mangroves, offshore marine environments and coral reefs.

The majestic Mayfield Falls await about an hour away in Westmoreland. With 21 natural pools and over 52 varieties of ferns, this off-the-beaten-path natural spa is one of Jamaica’s hidden gems. An experienced guide leads your 45-minute climb through mineral-infused waters whilst revealing various secrets of the falls.

Water lovers can’t miss YS Falls, located in nearby St. Elizabeth. Used to supply logwood in the early 1800s, the YS Estate opened its stunning seven-tiered cascading falls to the public in 1992. Visitors from around the world come to enjoy the wading pools fed by underground springs and swing into the waters.

Before you leave Negril, pick up a few reminders of your stay. Locally made crafts are always good options, and in Negril artsy items abound, along the beach or street-side from craft vendors. The local open-air craft market in the middle of town, the Negril Craft Market, has everything from wooden chess sets and hammocks to ital carvings.

There are many souvenir shops in Negril, but a good one-stop spot is the Time Square Shopping Mall. Local sauces, jellies, coffee and snacks can be purchased here. Other shopping districts include Plaza de Negril, Sunshine Village Plaza, Coral Seas Plaza and The Boardwalk Village on Seven Mile Beach.

Negril is world famous for its nightlife. Whether on Norman Manley Boulevard itself or in one of the many clubs, the irresistible beats will keep you moving!

Two of Negril’s top restaurants are the Rockhouse Restaurant and Pushcart Restaurant & Rum Bar. At Rockhouse Restaurant, you can munch on new Caribbean cuisine — a lighter, modern interpretation of classic Caribbean cooking. Over at Pushcart Restaurant & Rum Bar, diners get to enjoy the vibrant spices and flavours of authentic Jamaican home cooking in a quintessentially casual Negril setting.

Another top spot is The Caves Restaurant, where you can savour authentic Jamaican cuisine with a twist. Don’t pass up the opportunity to sip their signature cocktail, the Cliffhanger, which includes freshly made watermelon juice, ginger and Appleton rum.

The highlight of Negril’s West End is the internationally renowned Rick’s Café. Situated on rocky cliffs about 35 feet above the ocean, the major highlight at Rick’s is watching others cliff dive or taking the plunge yourself.

Also in West End is Hungry Lion, an eclectic, brightly coloured café that features a changing menu of primarily fish and vegetarian dishes, like a satisfying vegetarian shepherd’s pie or quesadillas stuffed with shrimp and cheese.
