Negril

Negril offers Spring Breakers an unspoiled 7 mile stretch of white sand beaches crowned by the low lying cliffs of the West End. In the quest of an endless summer and awesome sunsets, this once sleepy little fishing village was discovered by hippies during the 60's. Today, tour operators offer attractive travel packages to this SpringBreak dream destination. Negril is a clothing optional beach dotted with small beachfront hotels, thatched roof bars and restaurants overlooking the water.

In order to keep that unspoiled island feeling, the local zoning laws limit the height of new buildings to treetop level. Today, there some 20-30 small hotels and/or luxury properties that offer beachside lodging. The most desirable places to stay are the small cliff-side inns or the larger beachfront hotels that have the most amenities. However, you may find that it is a good idea to take a good look at your hotel before booking. You will find a good map and pictures of the hotels available on the Student Travel Services website. There are also several private villas that you can rent by the week if money is no problem.

Once you have arrived at your hotel, you can relax on the beach, or go on an island adventure climbing one of the many waterfalls or jumping from the 45 foot cliffs at the Pickled Parrot. Water sports activities abound. If you are into sailing, you can go windsurfing, Sunfish sailing, or take a daylong sailing trip to Bloody Bay where you'll enjoy basking in the sun, snorkeling, and partying on your own private beach! Ocean Kayaking and Jungle River Rafting worth exploring! Check out the Red Stripe Beer Event Calendar

As the day come to an end, celebrate the famous Negril sunset with a rum punch and get ready to party. Or if you want to make it an evening event go for a Sunset Cruise along Negril's scenic cliffs for a phenomena view of the setting sun.

After the sun sets, it is time to party as Negril's beaches and cliffs come alive with the sounds of reggae music. If you want to avoid the lines and save on cover fees, make sure that you get a VIP party wristband and voucher from one of the tour operators. On Monday night, Hotel Sam Sara's concerts feature the likes of Ziggy Marley, Beannie Man, Shaggy and more! Theme parties at Legends Beach Bar, Coral Seas Beach and Margaritaville's light up the beach. It is crackling bonfires and pulsating rhythm of reggae music that creates that special Jamaican feeling. This is why people come back to Negril again and again.
