A bit of history
Tourism in Negril is the only industry. Back in the 1970s, only the backpackers and the "nirvana" who stayed in the nirvana knew about this place, walking around naked at every free minute and living in tents. However, the "hippie Negril" disappeared, and the resort was divided into two parts. The first, Long Bay and its luxurious white beaches, are the home of wealthy tourists. The second, West End, has sheltered on its coast miniature boutique hotels and original entertainment for former "flower children" who now own platinum credit cards and ultra-thin laptops.
And yet, despite the fact that Negril turned from a small paradise in a large financial resort, it is still one of the best places in Jamaica for recreation in the style of "hedonism". Grow your hair, try local pleasures and let Jamaica exist around you. Everyone who visited Negril says this:
