I haven't been to Negril in 7 or 8 yrs and from the recent pictures I have seen there's a lot more beach than there was on my last visit. I am pretty sure the last time I was there you couldn't walk past the treehouse bar without walking in the water. I remember on one of my trips to Negril there was a big raft in the water out from shore a bit with a big pump on it that was pumping water and sand from the bottom and it was coming out of a pipe on the shore. Not sure how well it worked but they were trying. Can't wait to get back there and enjoy that sweet beach and water
