Just a friendly heads up.
We were out for a walk the other night after dark and walked on the beach past Negril Palms. There were 2 guards stationed on the beach closer to the water's edge. One guard was sitting on a chair and the other was standing but there was a very large pitbull with them. We passed by about 15 feet away when the dog began growling and lunging. The handler guard had a hard time controlling the dog and although the dog hadn't gone in to full on aggressive behaviour I did note that this is a potentially dangerous situation.
This was a first for us seeing guards posted at the water's edge with a dog. The dog didn't seem to be a true trained guard dog.
For anyone walking by Negril Palms at night please be aware of this situation.
Maybe the owners of Negril Palms want to re-think this measure. We often walk late at night in the off season and there are rarely any other people on the beach after sundown. I am not really sure why they feel it neccessary to place a dog there at this time of year.
