Here's my 3 grains of sands worth.I started coming to Negril in the late 80's. The beach at that time was fairly wide. Fast forward to 2012,and I had to walk around a few buildings and a tree,very narrow. Just got back 3 days ago and the beach is much larger. As with anything in nature,the beach space will evolve back and forth. Like the beach,the ocean's will rise and fall, the arctic ice will melt and be reborn by the same forces that created them. Sorry for the rant...
