Beaches or part of the beach,close to Negril,that's 'deserted'?

I really miss Little Bloody Bay. That was exactly the pristine, deserted "Robinson Crusoe" beach closest to Negril. Gone now to development...

Looks lovely Rastagirl :) I hope that's not the same beach mentioned previously in this thread, only with a different name?

Find Half Moon Bay. Restaurant and very very quiet. Unless the Wild Thing comes in. But its not every day and only for a shot time. Then back to peace and quiet

There are A/I compounds that you pass. Thing is, you can walk on the beach from sun up to sun down near the water line no matter who controls the road access. It is fun to walk through the resorts. When you approach the guard may (or may not) ask you what your room is, just tell them you are "moving through" and they will let you pass.

In other words, there are no private beaches. It is open to all to enjoy.

The beach in the picture is further north, where RIU is and where a new development is going in. Used to be a great place to get away from the Negril scene. There are still plenty of others, just got to ride a little further.

One other thing to mention. The public beaches do get visitors during the weekends. Mostly Sunday. It is rarely crowded unless there is a show going on (like ATI) or a national holiday, but it is not completely private.

And there is a chance that my wife and I will be strolling through at some point too.

Is it really 3 miles out to Cosmo's?? I may have been in better physical shape then I thought then because I walk out there by roadway several times during my trips from down by the roundabout. So really from NBCC a round trip walk over to Cosmo's is 6 miles???? OK that begs another mileage question then: I also almost atleast once daily walk from NBCC to Xtabi and have once walked to Ricks. None of this seems far, how far app. is that? I would have guessed Cosmo's at 1-1.5 miles. Man I am terrible at judging distance. I figured Ricks was 2.5. Xtabi at under 2.

back in the day all of Bloody Bay was secluded..........actually that wasn't so long ago.......

but Little Bay is pretty secluded as is Half Moon Beach.......you'll need a driver to get to both........but well worth it

The Long Bay beach park north of Cosmo's is usually desolate on weekdays....I've walked that stretch many times without seeing anyone else around, you can walk as far as Sandals. But the beach there would be nice and private and I always wanted to picnic there myself plus the park is close enough and has restrooms if needed.

That's a pic from the end of the park where Hanover meets Westmorland!

True, however it should be mentioned that the lady working in the changerooms/washrooms at Long Bay Beach 2, is out to make a little money. She tried to make me pay to pee.

Here are a few of my pictures.

There's this really cool arched, dry tree that is perfect for hanging your backpack, and whatever on, while you play in the water.
