About Negril

Negril is a small resort town located on the furthest west point of Jamaica in the Westmoreland Parish. It gets its name from the Spanish, who arrived in 1494 and called the area _Negrillo, _or “little black ones,” referring to either the many black eels found off of its coast or the black cliffs. It remained a small, sparsely populated coastal area until the 1960s, when tourism began to boom in Jamaica. This brought much-needed funds to the region and aided in the completion of a modern road to connect Montego Bay to Negril.

Since the 1960s, Negril has only grown in popularity on the international travel stage. Today, it has many resorts and is a popular destination for travelers of almost any budget. It is home to Rick’s Cafe, a well-known restaurant and bar that’s been operating for over 50 years. There is even a local airport, Negril Aerodrome, with plans to build an international airport in the coming years as demand increases.

From Montego Bay to Negril: travel tips

Whether this is your first time in Jamaica or you’re a seasoned pro, these tips will ensure that your Montego Bay to Negril transfer goes smoothly.

Book private transportation

Shuttle buses must wait until they are full to begin the journey. If you are the first to arrive from the plane, you may be waiting at the terminal until enough passengers arrive off of their flights. You may also be one of the last stops on their route as they drop off other passengers first. This 90-minute trip can easily become 3.5 hours with all the added stops.

With private transportation from Daytrip, you can travel immediately to your resort in Negril and skip the drop-offs at other resorts. You can also make sightseeing stops at places of interest on your own schedule.

Bask in the sun at Seven Mile Beach

Although not quite seven miles long (more like four!), visit Seven Mile Beach for the sun, sand, and crystal-clear waters of one of the most famous beaches in Jamaica. Its long shoreline means plenty of options for swimming, sunbathing, and beach sports. There are plenty of public access points along the shore, as well as private areas for resort guests.

Insider tip: Bring insect repellent if you plan to stay until sunset or later—the flies come out at night!

When is the best time to visit Negril

If you’d like to save a little on accommodation and avoid the crowds, book your trip during the shoulder seasons. Months like May, June, and November still have pleasant weather but with fewer visitors. Keep in mind that there may be more rain during these months.
