NEGRIL and Surrounding Areas – See first-hand Negril’s famous 7-mile beach, the breathtaking West End
(cliffs and home of Rick’s Café), Negril’s Hills Golf Course, Royal Palm Reserve and tour Orange Hill (residential community).
For years, Negril's 7-mile beach has been rated as one of the top ten beaches in the world by many travel magazines. The north end of the beach is home to the large all-inclusive resorts, and to the south are the smaller, family-run hotels. This combination gives the Negril area a large variety of rooms, services and prices.
In Negril the 7-mile beach is available for all to walk, the resorts may place restrictions on entering the property, but you are free to roam the beach. Walking the 7- mile beach is a favorite activity and shops, bars and restaurants are at your fingertips. In the evening beach parties are held where locals and tourists mingle freely.
South of downtown Negril is West End Road, known as the cliff area, which is lined with resorts, restaurants/bars and many local vendors. The cliffs provide a great area to chill out and create your own IRIE vibes. These areas offer easy access to waters good for snorkeling and diving, with jumping points reaching more than 40 feet high. The cliffs offer breath-taking views of Negril’s famous sunsets!
Rick's Cafe is a place to watch the cliff jumpers, eat and enjoy a cold beverage. Rick's is considered one of the 1,000 places to go before you die. Although most of Rick's was destroyed, and slid into the ocean in the hurricane of 2004, it has been rebuilt and the sunsets are still some of the best in the world.
The Negril Hills Golf Course is a world class course overlooking beautiful Negril Bay. A short
15 minute drive from Negril offering competitive fees and rentals, and a Club House overlooking the course.
Orange Hill is a local community just a short drive from the ‘deep’ West End. Visiting this community will provide you with a ‘real time’ experience of how many Jamaicans live their day-to-day lives, shop within their community, offer worship and often relax at ‘rum bars’ playing dominoes.
