Negril...Belmont...?

[BCBud]

Hey Brasi:

Other things to do (either by driving yourself or by route taxi):

Spend at least part of a day at Bluefield’s Beach . This is a public beach and is a favourite of Jamaican’s from all over the island. Great little shops for food, drinks, etc., bathroom facilities, etc.

Check out the Culloden Café (Culloden is between Belmont and Whitehouse) – great food (including great reviews on trip advisor). They also have a few rooms they rent out.

While in Culloden, check out Natania’s Guest House (not far from the Culloden Café) – the owner, Veronica Probst, is a longtime friend of mine (a very attractive single Jamaican lady who was born and raised in Culloden who also lived in the USA for a number of years). Tell her hello from Donna in Vancouver. Whenever she is in Negril, she stays with the same Jamaican family that I stay with on the beach.

Do go into Whitehouse – check out the fisherman’s beach there (a lot of commercial fishermen live in Whitehouse).

If you are driving (car or scooter), drive carefully – when in that area last winter, the roads were full of nasty postholes.

Is the same owner of Culloden Cafe that was opened in Treasure Beach a few years bacK? I remember reading about it on tb.net.

And great advice for on the roads. The main road in Belmont that follows the sea is VERY busy. LOTS of big trucks were going past when we were there. The big trucks that carry the cane. We had to be very careful just crossing the street.

*edit* Isn't there a small fee now to get into Bluefields? I think it's $200-400j? I think you can still go to the beach but to get to the shops, restaurants and bathrooms, you had to pay. It was all closed up when we were there (Sunday) but I was told by 2 people that some J'cans were upset that they had to now pay to get in.

Oh and I just remembered...there is a bridge near Blufields. On the backside of the park, mountainside, you sould cross it when getting there, and you can park beside the bridge and there is a river and waterfall that is free and public. You will see people parked and swimming.
