Recommendations for No HUSSLE bar on beach!!

[RyanP]

I don't consider the beachwalkers part of the "tourist economy". I buy from a few of the guys (the ones I feel aren't out to try and take advantage of the tourists). A lot of these guys (or kids) on the beach need to go, though. Giving them money, or letting them scam you, just positively reinforces what they are doing, and they will be back tomorrow.

I agree Ryan, but where can they go? I also feel that we can contribute by supporting options. A few extra bucks into St Anthony's at the end of the day. Think about sponsoring a child. (See Robs post) Some of my friends have "adopted a Jamaican family" they get great spiritual returns on that! If you have the time offer a Ting and a pattie to one of them and have a good conversation. That may be hard when they are in groups. And they'll still hit you up for a few bucks after. That's Negril.
