With the waves and wind the beach is getting a bit smaller from when I arrived 3 weeks ago.

No matter what it looks like, ANY day in Negril is a good day and better than snow and freezing cold!

It comes and goes........1998...it was wide and so gradual to enter and leave water......
Rambo, great photo. I have seen it come and go too. Once the water went up to the bar at Alfred's. They held their parties in the parking lot. The next time I came the beach was wide. So the sea and beach look after themselves.
Back in the day when $1USD = .85cents JA, when a full dinner (big portion) was $3.00 JA, a Red Stripe .50 cents JA the Negril Beach from the wharf to Rutland Point was wide and beautiful no buildings between the tree line and the water.

"Back in the day when $1USD = .85cents JA..." When was that, ancient Roman times? :)
I can remember when it was 30 to 1 (about year 2000).
I remember it being around 5 to 1 in the early 80's.
That was the rate my first trip in 1974.
at times...walk to Booby Cay, throw yor "supplies" in a old "kit bag" over yor shoulder and walk across to Booby Cay.....enjoy...no police-mon will get wet ha-ha......Have BIG parti.......well into night!
