Negril Lighthouse
A white concrete lighthouse built in 1894 on the westernmost headland of Jamaica, and a landmark along the West End cliffs.
Negril Lighthouse stands at Negril Point, the westernmost tip of Jamaica. It was commissioned in 1894, is about 20 m tall, and its light sits roughly 30 m above the sea. It is still operated by the Port Authority of Jamaica. Around it are black coral-rock shores and a small park, with views of the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. The lighthouse is not formally open to the public, but the keepers sometimes allow visitors to climb it, customarily in return for a small tip. Even without climbing, the exterior is well worth photographing. It sits at the end of West End Road and can be combined with the West End cliff bars and the 3 Dives jerk stand for a half-day trip.
Opening hours
