Did you post your dates on feb roll call? Please do, lots of boardies around to take you about for good eats and music and drinks too.

Myself and my husband will be staying on Seven Mile beach this February as newbies to Jamaica and can hardly wait! We have been vacationing on the Pacific side of Mexico for many years and decided to change it up this year. With all of the devastation suffered in various Caribbean destinations from the hurricanes we settled on beautiful Jamaica..over many years of travelling to Mexico where the beach vendors are plentiful as well, we developed great friendships with a few and always look forward to seeing them and usually picking up a few of their wares....could this be something we can look forward to in Negril?!
The vendors in Mexico can be and are aggressive at times as well...

you should start your day by buying fresh juice (all types) from Flex [he will come by several times during the day]; Cortis (who is a Negril beach icon) who sells fruits from a big basket that she balances on her head while she walks [she won't be on beach on Sunday as she goes to Church]; Dean the Pork Guys (has his own hog farm) will come by around noon [he likewise goes to Church], carries aluminum hot box with mild and hot jerk pork; Norman the Patty Man who pushes a bicycle with big box on handle bars and sells different varieties of patties; and, then there will be the vendors selling crafts; glass bottom boat tours, catamaran tours, "handy work", and the many farmers who proclaim to be selling their own herb. Be leery of buying edibles as strength varies so proceed with caution.

Dean never seems to make it that far down the beach. We've stayed at Country Country next door over a dozen times and have never seen Dean make it that far, he must sell out before then.

Dean's hot box is still well stocked when he gets to Idle Awhile Beach. His hot is really HOT

Ozzie's across the street from Tree House has excellent jerk and awesome carrot juice with hint of ginger & lime.

Unfortunate, I would so miss Dean if I didn't catch him on the beach.
I think he has the best jerk pork. Better than the dragon I think.
Well worth it to seek him out if he doesn't happen to make it that far down the beach.
