We got to see something that doesn't happen very often. The crabs marching in trillions towards the bush. The mother released her eggs and the baby crabs were marching back to the woods to grow. Very cool bar and nice owner, beautiful sunsets and nice dogs that roam the land! Protectors! Be sure and bring your bug spray when you... More

Quiet, peaceful, family, away from it all, If you don't make a stop at Half Moon Beach, then you are truly missing out on a life experience. More

A small private beach with a few cabins and a bar and grill. Very relaxed bohemian vibe. For 2 bucks you can waste an entire day snorkeling, swimming, lounging in a hammock etc... One of our best days in Negril. The Snorkeling is great off the rocks and the beach is calm and peaceful. You can swim out to a... More

Based on previous reviews we rented a driver for the day to take us there.. Ended up staying for 1 1/2 hours. Beach not nearly as nice as at our resort on 7 Mile and there was a cost of $2 U.S. pp. We brought our snorkel equipment, however, the water was a little rough so we never saw anything... More

At least for the first part of the day. This was a great trip. Very peaceful and relaxing. Nice small cove beach with a restaurant and bar. Great hammocks and places to relax. Feels like a world away from the main beach in Negril. About an hour after we arrived a large boat with a booze cruise crowd came for... More
