Hello, as much as I like to laze on the beach, I like driving about in the rental car.
- any ideas?
I have this as a possible day trip
Negril Lighthouse
Blue Hole
Seaford Town
Paradise Park
Mayfield falls
Grange Hill
Negril
I mapped it on Google maps

negril lighthouse is currently closed to the public.
i looooooved my day at the ngril blue hole- you could combine that with a visit to bluefields beach.
i've never gotten to seaford town, but always wanted to.
you should also look into half moon beach/calico jack's.
YS falls paired with one or more of these stops makes for a fun day trip.
Black River
Pelican Bar
Appleton Estate
Sav market on Saturday
Lovers Leap
1/3 of a day trip:

Seaford Town is really interesting with a remarkable history. It is fairly easy to get too from Negril although the roads were pretty beat up the times I visited. The people there are pretty cool and generally welcome visitors. If you go you should plan on spending a few hours there but it's worth the time. Track down the priest from the Catholic Church in town who will answer your questions and send you in the right direction.

That's Father Vic an American Priest at the Seaford Town Catholic Church going back a few years. Don't know who is currently there now but my suggestion if you visit Seaford Town would be that you stop by the Rectory and talk with the current Priest. He'll be able to give you a tour of the Church and the information building. Just a side note: The original Papillon movie was shot in part in Jamaica and the Priest of the church at the time had a part as well as many locals were used as extras.

if i could have my dream job, i would produce documentaries like that.
A day trip to Roaring River can be nice. Different kind of beach, along a river. It can be a nice day outing. If you go, drop me a note; my new home is near there. :)
