Negril Vacations

Negril is a small Jamaican town that is a little over an hour's drive from the famed Montego Bay. Many lifestyle magazines have rated Negril's beach as one of the top 10 on the planet. Nonetheless, the community gains a large part of its not inconsiderable charm from the fact that much of it remains fairly undeveloped.

The North end of the island is where the majority of the Negril all inclusive resorts are located, and this particular area is said to be the most beautiful part of Jamaica. Those staying in the accommodations in this area are literally on the beach the moment they walk out their door. The water is exceptionally clear and warm here, and it is possible to go fairly far out into the ocean before the gentle water reaches the neck of an average adult. The sands on the beach become noticeably whiter the farther north you go. Scuba diving and snorkeling are both very popular pastimes here.

Getting around the community of Negril is easy because of the area's abundance of taxis. If you will be looking for souvenirs to take home to family and friends not fortunate enough to be on this adventure with you, the crafts market on the outskirts of town is an excellent place to pick up reasonably priced, locally made goods. American dollars are accepted by almost all Negril vendors and establishments.

Island cuisine is mostly fresh and locally sourced, with seafood being the main ingredient of many meals. Freshly caught Mahi Mahi, Marlin and Kingfish are frequently featured on the menus of local eating establishments. Goat curry and other traditional Jamaican dishes are also well-represented. Fresh coconut water is available simply by picking a ripe coconut and cutting it open.

Those returning home from a Negril vacation generally report experiencing a feeling of exceptionally enhanced well-being due to the island's natural beauty, delicious food and general ambiance. Visitors also find that the reputation enjoyed by Negril's local population for having an abundance of gracious hospitality is delightfully true.
