I'm a Negril-er ... but trying Runaway Bay for Family Trip

[phineasfreakears]

Stayed in Runaway Bay for the second time about 7 years ago. Wanted to try it again, it was the destination for our very first Jamaica visit in 1988. Most of the island was flattened at that time by hurricane Gilbert. It is nothing like Negril. There is a good size public beach, but nothing like the 7 mile in Negril. It is close to Ocho and Dunns Falls, and I would definitely take a trip to Nine Mile while you are there. Plenty of other excursions to check out also. Rafting the Martha Brae, check out the caves, and some fun local bars.
Here is a pic of the public beach
