Negril is a smallbut widely dispersed beach resort town located across parts of two Jamaican parishes of Westmoreland and Hanover. Itis famous for its 7 miles of cool, white sand beaches and another 7 miles of 40' cliffs. One of the most beautiful towns in Jamaica, it has a more laid back atmosphere than that ofMontego Bayand is more touristy thanOcho Rios. When you stay at a hotel on the beach you are literally on the beach when you walk out of the beachside of your hotel. You have probably never seen water this clear or warm. You will be amazed at how far out you can walk in the water before it gets up to your neck. The water is gentler and the sand iswhiter(smaller grained aka softer) the fartherdown(away from town) you are. The end of the beach down by the all-inclusives is the whitest.
