Negril is famous for its miles of white sand beaches. One of the most beautiful towns in Jamaica, it has a more laid back atmosphere than that of Montego Bay. When you stay at a hotel on the beach you are literally on the beach when you walk out of the beachside of your hotel. You have probably never seen water this clear. You will probably not find water this warm. You will be amazed at how far out you can walk in the water before it gets up to your neck. The water is gentler and the sand is whiter(smaller grained aka softer) the farther down (away from town) you are. The end of the beach down by the all-inclusives is the whitest.

 

Taking a snorkeling tour in one the glass bottom boats is highly recommended. It seems expensive but they usually throw in a private barbecque on a desert island as part of the tour.

 

• Rick's Cafe, was is known for the cliffside it is built upon, where tourists can take a courageous leap into the Caribbean Sea below. However, the Cafe is currently inaccessible: during Hurricane Ivan, the cafe slid off the cliffside into the sea below. It is slated to be rebuilt and to reopen at a date yet to be determined.
