Best Beaches in Negril
The happiest of 'happy hours' will be spent on the beaches in Negril, where blankets of soft-white sand coat the underside of your feet, slipping between the whispering waves of the Caribbean Sea.
Plant yourself in a sun lounger, or swing between trees; all the while, Jamaica's true loves – reggae and jerk chicken – joyfully fill the air. These are the moments you pine for when -or if you ever- return home.
Beaches in Negril
Negril Beach / Seven Mile Beach
Actually, the beach is about five miles long, but who cares about specifics when you have white sands and sunsets like these? Whatever the length, there are more beach activities than you can shake a flip flop at, with watersports companies, bars and restaurants galore. They’ve sectioned off swimming areas, where you can float about on gorgeously clear water. If you stay for the sunset – do! – slather on some insect repellent to ward off the sandflies.
Great for: Beach walks, watersports, snorkelling, bars & restaurants
Half Moon Beach
This private beach was set up by a group of friends who wanted to preserve the island’s natural beauty – away from the buzz of the tourist areas. Snorkel above incredible coral reefs or paddle out to the offshore islet. There’s a restaurant serving sarnies and soups and a bar for refreshments.
Great for: Private beach, snorkelling, raft rides
Bloody Bay Beach
Rumour has it the notorious pirate Calico Jack was captured here after a vicious battle back in the age of the buccaneers, which might explain the name… There’s no gore to be seen these days, just soft white sands, brilliant blue waters and sunsets that dye the skies rusty red. A popular spot with locals and tourists, the stretch is home to a handful of all-inclusive hotels, bars and restaurants.
Great for: Swimming, beach parties, watersports
