Jamaica Things to Do

Jamaica’s famous Seven Mile Beach is located on the shores of Negril. It’s the longest continuous stretch of powdery white sand on the island and despite its name, Seven Mile Beach only extends for about four miles (6.4 km) along the coast. This idyllic palm-fringed stretch of sand was a popular hippie hang-out during the 1960’s and has since become one of Jamaica’s top resort destinations, though it still retains its laid-back Caribbean vibe.

Jamaica is a favorite Caribbean travel destination and a popular cruise stop and the beach resort town of Negril, located on the island’s western end, is one of Jamaica’s top attractions. Negril is home to some of the island’s finest beaches including the powdery white stretch of sand known as Seven Mile Beach, which despite its name, is really only about four miles (6.4 km) in length. Here you’ll find many of the town’s all-inclusive resorts and beach clubs, though you can enjoy secluded stretches of beautiful beachfront, clear tranquil waters and dramatic sunsets just about anywhere along the coast of Negril.

In Jamaica, lazy reggae rhythms, endless sunny days, miles of sugar-white sand beaches, and spectacular orange-hued sunsets dipping into the sparkling, azure waters of the Caribbean are a way of life. If you can pull yourself away from your beachside hammock, you’ll discover a rich culture of lush greenery and mouth-watering cuisine.
