Known as the “Capital of Casual”, to introduce Negril, we have to quote Richard Hershman, the original owner of Rick’s Cafe: “Your body has suddenly arrived where your mind has always been”.
It is picturesque 60 minutes’ drive along the North Coast, through typical Jamaican villages and Towns on the way to Negril 7-mile white sand beach. Your driver points out all the places of interest along the way , such as such as the old Tryall Waterwheel – this still functioning cast iron Water Wheel is said to be over 200 years old. It stands on the majestic Tryall Club in Hanover – he will even stop at local fruit stalls so you can sample freshly picked coconuts, sugar cane, mangoes, etc. This is a very delightful way to experience the Jamaican lifestyle.
In Negril, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville on the beach is ‘the’ place to be – it provides the perfect mix of entertainment options. There is accessible open air dining under a thatched roof, Tiki beach bar, giant flat screen TV’s , cabanas, beach chairs, umbrellas and all day island music! With nothing but pure sand and crystal clear turquoise water as far as the eye can see, you quickly realize why Margaritaville Caribbean – Negril is Jimmy’s favorite. Enjoy the sights and sounds while sipping one of the 52 tropical flavours of margaritas. The delicious all-day menu includes burgers, fajitas, grilled specialties and authentic local cuisine.
After , we take you to Time Square shopping centre, where you can browse the duty free stores or for those looking for authentic Jamaican carvings and other items, please there is the open air Craft Market beside the Negril River near the center of town.
