For those planning a family vacation, it should be noted that the casual attitude that characterizes Negril translates into partial nudity on the beach and even in designated areas of some of the resorts. For family fun there is the Anancy Fun Park that features miniature golf, carousel, power wheels, and paddleboats. On the inland side of the main road leading into Negril is the Great Morass swamp, which is 16 kilometres long and three kilometres wide and within which is the Royal Palm Reserve featuring wooden plank walkways.
South of downtown Negril is West End Road, or Lighthouse Road, which is known as the cliff area. This area features rugged cliffs and is lined with resorts and provides easy access to the water that is ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. The famed Rick's Café, considered one of the top thousand places to visit before you die, is located here. Rick's Café has grown from its quaint beginnings and is an ideal location to watch the cliff jumpers and marvel at the stunning Negril sunsets. Also located here is the Negril Lighthouse, which is a Belgian engineered lighthouse surrounded by beautiful scenery and open for tours.
Booby Cay Island is a short boat ride from Negril's beach and provides a wonderful opportunity for picnics, snorkeling, diving, bird watching, and swimming. Named after the Booby bird that uses the island as its breeding grounds, it is a worthwhile trip and most resorts arrange the boat ride over. The Negril Hills Golf Course offers 18 hole golf. The Negril Craft Market is not as elaborate as some Caribbean markets but does have a fun atmosphere with some good crafts.
This Jamaican destination provides a very casual, laid back ambiance with stunning scenery and an authentic opportunity to unwind.
