Re: Favorite place to stop on the beach route to Negril
In the 60s before the North Coast road was completed to Negril .........Anchovy, Petersfied, Sav, Little London, Negril was the only road.
Even after the road opened (not today's road ...the old road) we'd use the "over the top" route from Mobay on arrival as it's much quicker to Spring Garden and home than going thru Lucea and Negril.
Many great little shops on the way. Especially one that was in Ramble

Totally agree...if it looks interesting...STOP! Or ask your driver to stop at their favourite place.
SandT Chi...I'm so sad that you had a bad experience at Borders. We love it there & find it's the closest to the original Boston Jerk on this side of the island....yummmmo jerk pork....hopefully just an off day.

Re: Favorite place to stop on the beach route to Negril
Like Yetta, I love to stop at new places, it doesn't have to be any fancier than a little stall on the side of the road made of wooden sticks/bamboo with just a handful of bananas, coconuts or anything really fancy. If it grabs my attention, it's worth a stop. However, I do have one mandatory stop just outside of MoBay and that is in the little town of Hopewell. And the purchase is always the same = one hot loaf of fresh made bread, two pieces of their incredible fried chicken - then, walk next door to the fruit ladies and pick up something sweet and juicy. I'm set, the smile is pasted on my face for the rest of the ride. :)

Yes,a small stall on the roadside,,,like the one we passed many many times,,by the sea,,it says ICE COLD BEER in front,,,across from the hills with the sheep grazing....
We tell the driver to stop there,,,,,,
Sorry,,but they were kinda Mean there....Charged me 4 bucks for a warm beer and tried to charge TOO much for some vegetation.I was bummed.
