Cultural and Natural Activities
Negril bed and breakfast guests who need a break from the sun and surf will find interesting cultural attractions not too far from their bed and breakfast. The Royal Palm Reserve is just ten minutes from Negril, and is considered a hidden jewel in the area. This is a 300 acre site which has over 114 plant species and 300 animal species, including birds, butterflies and reptiles. This is a wonderful way for bed and breakfast visitors to explore the rich and fascinating ecology of Negril, as well as Jamaica as a whole. This is also a popular spot for walks, tours, picnics, fishing and birdwatching. More cultural activities include visiting the historic communities that neighbor Negril. Petersfield is a one-street rural town whose incorporation dates back to the late 17th century. While Petersfield itself is a mellow community that does not have a ton of action for bed and breakfast visitors, the greater inducement to go is the natural wonders. The Roaring River is a small river that runs near the town, and offers a spectacular limestone cave for bed and breakfast guests. Visitors are required to have a guide in order to access the cave, but this is easily granted for bed and breakfast guests through the Roaring River Citizens Association. Negril bed and breakfast visitors will also not want to miss the fresh water sinkhole that is just outside the Roaring River Cave. Swimming in the sinkhole provides a crisp and pure experience for bed and breakfast guests.
