Where to Base: Beach vs. Cliffs
The southern portion of Westmoreland Parish features the famous Seven Mile Beach and downtown Negril, ideal for travelers seeking beach access and local vibrancy. Resorts near the Hanover border offer quieter settings. The West End cliff resorts provide spectacular ocean views but are more isolated from the main town center.
Airport Connection: Montego Bay
Located approximately 80.8 kilometers (50.2 mi) southwest from Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay. Access requires land transport, involving a significant drive time. It is advisable to arrange transfers in advance due to the dispersed nature of the resort areas.
Geography and Nearby Towns
Negril is geographically split between Westmoreland and Hanover parishes. Travelers can explore further westward to Savanna-la-Mar, the capital of Westmoreland, or head north along the A1 highway to Lucea, the capital of Hanover, to experience more of Jamaica's western region.
