Seven Mile Beach, Negril
Seven Mile Beach
Jamaica's longest and most famous white-sand beach. The water is shallow and calm, and the coastline is lined with bars and restaurants. It is especially known for sunsets.
Seven Mile Beach is located in Negril, at Jamaica's far western tip. It is actually about 11 km long, with fine sand and shallow water, making it ideal for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, glass-bottom boat trips, and snorkeling. The coast is lined with many resorts, beach bars, and reggae venues. Its style is more laid-back than Montego Bay. The beach itself is public and free, but lounge chairs must be rented or require a purchase at a bar. Montego Bay is about 1.5 hours away by car, so it is possible to make a day trip, then head to Rick's Café on the western cliffs to watch the sunset in the evening. Vendors are persistent, so politely saying no is enough.
