The beach is located at the western tip of Jamaica. It straddles between Westmoreland and Hanover parishes--or "provinces"--of that country. Its fame goes back to the 1950s when tourists used to wade to shore from boats, because there was no road to speak of at that time.

Today, Negril is host to a variety of resorts.
For years, Negril's beach has been rated as one of the top ten beaches in the world by many travel magazines. The north end of the beach is home to the large, all-inclusive resorts, and to the south are the smaller, family-run hotels. This combination gives the Negril area a large variety of rooms, services and prices.
