Negril Activities
 The Negril Yacht Club offers bed and breakfast water lovers an opportunity to sail the open sea with day trips and extended trips to other Jamaica locations. Kayak and snorkel rentals, daily sunset cruises, glass bottom boat tours, as well as deep sea fishing charters, can also be arranged through the Yacht Club.
Many locals provide private lessons for anything from wind surfing to snorkeling and scuba diving. Ask your innkeepers which operators have the best reputation and follow rigid safety procedures. Innkeepers are your best resource for recommendations and referrals, not to mention hot spots off the beaten track.
Standing 100 feet tall is the Negril Lighthouse, past Rick’s Café on the West End Road. Guiding ships around Jamaica’s western shore since 1895, it was first powered by kerosene. Today it is powered by solar energy and continues to safely steer shipping traffic. Visitors may climb to the top of the Lighthouse to experience the 360 degree view of the surrounding beauty that is Negril’s landscape. Experience the sunset from this vantage point overlooking the beautiful, turquoise Caribbean Sea.
A short distance from Negril is a family owned sugar cane plantation opened to the public. Belvedere Estate is a working plantation where you may acquaint yourself with the history intrinsic to sugar production as well as witness the process of boiling cane juice to extract the wet brown sugar. The estate, with its flora and fauna, rivers and waterfalls, offers a glimpse of the diversity the Jamaican landscape provides. A half day drip, that is well worth the visit.
