Bloody Bay
A crescent-shaped bay north of Rutland Point, calmer and quieter than the main beach and lined mostly with all-inclusive resorts. It is a peaceful extension of Seven Mile Beach.
Bloody Bay lies north of Rutland Point, at the northern end of Seven Mile Beach. Its name is said to come from the whaling era, when whales were slaughtered here and stained the sea red. Another tale holds that in 1720 the pirate 'Calico Jack' Rackham and two female pirates were captured by British forces near Negril. The bay is crescent-shaped, with fine sand and gentle waves, and it is quieter than the main beach. The shoreline is dominated by large all-inclusive resorts such as Riu and Royalton, though the public can reach the sand via beach access paths. A few stands sell grilled lobster. Boats to Booby Cay leave most conveniently from here. The bay is about 5 km from Negril town centre, reachable by taxi or along the A1 road.
