More on Negril

Negril has some four miles of perfect-white sandy beaches, skirted by the Norman Manley Boulevard. A sea cliff lined the beach. The area is today developed with hotels and beach resorts.

Negril dates back as early as 1494, to the dawn of Europeans in the New World. It was originally called Negrillo, but shortened later to Negril. It remained little more than a sparsely inhabited beach area in western Jamaica. It was only in the mid to late 20th century that the beaches of Negril were discovered for their tourism potential, attracting a host of hotels to the area.

The sea off Negril is covered with beautiful coral reefs visible in the crystal-clear water, ideal for snorkelling and diving.

Visiting Negril

Take a van or minibus from Montego Bay. It takes about an hour and a half to reach Negril.
