A laid-back guesthouse and backpacker hostel on a leafy garden property off West Land Mountain Road, about a 10-minute walk from the sea. There are dorms, private rooms and cottages, hammocks and a kitchen, and the hosts help with tours around the west of the island. A friendly, affordable base in an otherwise pricey resort town.

A famous bar and restaurant on the cliffs of Negril's West End, where locals and brave visitors leap into the sea from ledges of varying height while a live band plays. It's busy and touristy, but the sunset atmosphere is unique. Arrive in the late afternoon for a good spot, and only jump from heights you're comfortable with.

Negril's long sweep of white sand and calm, clear water along Long Bay, lined with hotels, beach bars and restaurants. It's great for swimming and long walks, especially early in the morning. Expect vendors offering everything from boat trips to souvenirs — a firm, friendly 'no thanks' works. Sunsets here are superb.
