Negril Itinerary - Tours and Activities
Updated: Mar 16
Negril Jamaica is home to the famous Seven-Mile Beach, voted many times as one of the best beaches in the world. With it's amazing sunsets, turquoise blue waters and sandy shallow bays, it is easy to see why. The beach is lined with numerous bars and restaurants, the most famous one being Rick's Cafe, where people get their adrenalin pumping by jumping of its cliff. There much more to Negril than Seven-Mile Beach and Rick's Cafe. So lets dive into my extensive collection of things to do while in Negril.
Also check out my itinerary for Negril's neighboring city, Montego Bay.
