The Blue Hole
A half an hour southeast of Negril, the Blue Hole Mineral Springs sit 24 feet below the ground in a cavernous opening surrounded by limestone karst. Climb down a ladder to access the pool. Some health-seekers come to bask in the mineral-rich waters, and you’ll spy other visitors applying white mud from around the springs to their skin.
Negril Lighthouse
Take the 103 steps to the top of this 19th-century lighthouse, just outside town, for a view of sailboats bobbing in the sea and perhaps the dorsal fins of a pod of wild dolphins. The 66-foot structure is still in use today, operated by solar power.
Seven Mile Beach
Although Seven Mile Beach isn’t exactly seven miles long, you can walk for hours along its soft white sands without reaching the end. Once you wade into the water, you’ll find that this stretch of the blue Caribbean, protected by offshore reefs, is an ideal spot to swim, snorkel, or paddleboard. And when you need to take a break from the sun and sea, you’ll find beachfront cafes serving cold drinks and hot food nearby.
