About Negril, Jamaica
Negril is located at the western tip of Jamaica. It’s a wonderful place, full of sights to see and plenty to do, due to its spectacularly gorgeous location. The town boasts seven miles of white sand beach and four miles of stunning sea-cliffs. From either, you can see Negril's famous sunsets across a stretch of ocean that reaches to Mexico and Belize over 700 miles away! Negril is known for its laidback and festive atmosphere.
Most of the CHNY veterans will be staying at the far southern end of Cliffs Road between the lighthouse and the Blue Cave Castle. Read More
