Hi all
We're staying in Homers but want to spend at least a day on Seven Mile Beach. Any recommendations for a good spot to camp out for the day? I've heard you can get day passes at some of the AI's...can you do the same for the smaller hotels? Is there anywhere you can just rent a lounger for the day? Suggestions welcome!
Thanks
Woodstock has loungers you can use, it is centrally located and on a nice piece of beach.
My personal favourite is definitely Sun Beach.
Cosmo's is our favorite
Cap
If I only had one day, I would choose Alfreds. Good food, drink, they play music, and great people watching.
alfreds and arthurs. they're next door to each other and i like to alternate between the two. as jojo p said, great people watching.
ALFREDS

another good option is the little bar located next to rastade's restaurant that sells beers for $200j/$2 us. i forget the name of that place.

I stayed across the street from the beach last year and walked over every morning and planted myself on Kuyaba's loungers, with my cooler in tow.
You can get a beach chair at Alfred's but be sure to either eat or drink there. I am there almost every day - no problem.

They also play music and sometimes games. Great people watching spot. Food & drinks are expensive so I would go elsewhere for eats. That will give you the opp to stroll the beach.
Hey Tizzy! Priceless advice.Quote:

Hi Tizzy, Nice to see your post. Going back some years ago the beach crawl was a daily event. At that time you could walk from the river all the way to Rutland Point without any fences or obstacles. But I do agree with Cap, Cosmo's has always been a great spot. Back then just a round thatched roof bar & restaurant, my favorite being the conch soup and a couple cold Red Stripes!!
Yeah, Cosmo's is probably the closest you'll find on the beach to the "old Negril" (though I have never experienced Negril as it used to be). But also agree with Tizzy, you need to explore a bit. I'd start at Cosmo's, then hop a route taxi to M'Ville to enter the beach, turn left and stroll.Quote:

Another thing, when I went to Alfreds to go swim out to there dock, the bartenders were more than happy to watch my bag with key, money, etc, so I wouldn't just have to leave them laying around, that is as long as you were buying food or drink, plus a little tip !! :)
I think you should take everyone's advice and try them all ... add in Charela,though and few other so we can have a true trend and census - and report back to us. Never had a bad day at the beach!
On de cliffs man den u can go any where on the beach you like any day!Quote:

Years ago back in early 80s used to carry a backpack filled with things we needed like sunscreen and 2 big insulated mugs. We started somewhere near the beach club and walked down to cosmos actually just before cosmos where there was at that time a public beach. We would take our mugs to cosmos and buy there delicious conch soup for lunch. We also would buy 30 below Ice cold red stripes from the beach vendors. At t h e end of the day we would make our way back to our hotel . Nice long walk on the best stretch of beach you will ever find.
We concur with the Captain. Most chill and the best food in Negril!Quote:

Alot of people visit the White Sands beach when I'm there.. there's a beach bar that has daily 2-for1's specials and also a restaurant there and usually plenty of beach chairs to be had.

We used to do the same walk and have the conch soup also sometime in the mid 80's. We would sit out there for hours and rarely see other people.
I had forgotten about the 30 below Red Stripes from the guys carrying the Playmate coolers.�� Thanks for the memories njsem.

This was an interesting thread and everyone mentioned somewhere I really like. I am a big fan of Woodstock but my favorite place to spend a day is Treehouse My #1 reason personally is I meet interesting people there every time I go.
