I used to walk from the beach to the west end after the bars on the beach closed and would stop in at miyard on my way farther west. The only thing you had to watch out for was the dogs that came out at nite. Learned to walk with a rock in my hand and all you had to do was act like you were going to throw it. They were a whole diferent animal from the ones you seen in the day and were usually in a pack. We usually hang out at Pee Wees at night and stay in that area. Last year we were staying across from Jenny's. The first night when we went to leave Janet the bartender said she would feel better if someone walked with us. They always made sure we got home ok and we were there for a month. Another nite we were walking back with our friend Ital who was on a bike in front of us and a rout taxi guy I know stoped and asked if we were ok, as soon as he seen Ital he knew everything was cool he told me he didn't recognize Ital at first and thought it looked suspicious. Another older man in the neighborhood told me to watch out for a guy on a scooter late at nite that had taken some lady's bag. Still think it's pretty safe but am definitely going to take the advice of my local friends. If they say take a taxi or walk with someone known in the neighborhood I'm going to do it. Just like the advice I get here. I've had more stuff stolen out of garage at home than I have in Negril and I plan on keeping it that way.
