Things to do in  Negril

Located on the far western tip of Jamaica, Negril is a popular beach resort and town. The former fishing village is known for its beautiful beaches, especially renowned Seven Mile Beach, rocky Negril Cliffs popular for cliff jumping, clear turquoise waters ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving, beautiful sunsets, a laid-back vibe, and good food and nightlife options.

You’ll want to spend at least three days in Negril to relax, enjoy its many beaches, try some water sports, and explore nearby attractions such as the YS Falls and Blue Hole Mineral Spring. That said, there’s enough here to fill a week or even two.

It depends on what you are looking for. Negril has better beaches, cliffs, waterfalls, and a more laid-back vibe. Montego Bay, Jamaica’s second-largest city, offers more amenities, cultural attractions, and nightlife, and is much closer to the airport. Both places have plenty of resort options.

Yes, you can walk around Negril, and walking Seven Mile Beach is a popular activity. But Negril is quite spread out—so you may not be able to walk everywhere. Many resorts offer shuttles, and taxis are also readily available.

Negril has warm weather all year, but the weather during the dry season from December to April is the most comfortable. January to March is peak season and will see the biggest crowds and highest prices. November to mid-December is the time to visit for the best weather, smaller crowds, and lower prices.

Yes. In general, Negril is quite safe for tourists, especially near the resorts, which usually have security guards. During the day, it’s quite safe to walk the beach and other touristy areas like the West End. It’s always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings and exercise caution, especially at night.
