As most isitors to Negril are after a beach holiday rather
than sightseeing, there aren't many managed attractions in
the area. But if you fancy getting out of town, there are
attractie options nearby.
For some peaceful beach life, head east out of town along
Norman Manley Bouleard. Just outside Greven Island, the
nearestvillage to Negril, the unspoiled Half Moon Bay
Beach (daily 8am till late; J$80 entrance, redeemable at
the bar; ph 876/957-6467) is full of the paradisiacal charm
that originally brought tourists to Negril.
The wide cure of white sand has no braiding
booths, jet skis or hassle, just a little sea grass and some
small islets; nude bathing is perfectly acceptable and
snorkel equipment cheap.

The restaurant (daily 8am-10pm) seres excellent
chicken, fish and sandwiches. On the way to Half Moon is
Rhodes Hall Plantation (ph 876/957-6333, ), a 550-acre
coconut, banana, plantain and pear farm with two priate
beaches - one a shallow, sea-grassy reef beach with a
freshwater mineral spring bubbling under the brine, the
other a more conentional sugar-sanded cure. olleyball and
football/basketball pitches and a restaurant/bar are
adjacent, but the main draw is horse riding. The
well-kept mounts trot into the hills and along the beach
(US$30-50, depending on length of ride) |
