Harry, I empathize with you and your wife. The only “key” tourist area that gives me unbearable grief each and every time I’m there is Ocho Rios. I thought it was because I was always alone until one time when I made sure I was escorted into town. It was worse because both of us were harassed and he’s Jamaican.

After reading your post, (and I hope I’m wrong) I’m afraid not much is going to be different by way of experience (comfort) for your wife no matter how guarded you are. It’s Negril. Your wife sounds like a sweetheart who adores being with you wherever that may be. I ask respectfully, is it too late to stay somewhere else? If not, if you do the beach, get a taxi ride to Bloody Bay. The small entrance fee in exchange for undisturbed couple time will be worth it.
