"As you can see am more into the cliff area-am sure others have suggestions-esp with regards to places to hang on the beach,,"

Me too! Take in a pub crawl that Wednesday the 25th after chilling on the beach for a couple of days which will take you to 6 or so bars up on the cliffs. Here's a link http://negril.com/forum/showthread.php?2350-Love-Bus-Bar-Crawl-Always-A-Blast-This-and-Every-Wednesday


You can also head down the beach and hit numerous bars that catch your interest. One thing about Negril is almost every tourist I have come across is chill and laid back and striking up conversation is as easy as it gets.


Pelican bar is a good time and would be better with a crowd. Take in another area as well to fill the day such as YS Falls, Black River, Appleton Rum Factory, etc. Hire a driver for the day and have fun. Look under tours at the top of the page and you'll find a reputable driver.

Have dinner at Ivan's at Catcha Falling Star at sunset and kick it at the bar afterwards. The bartenders are entertaining.... It's two properties over from Rick's towards the beach.

Last but not least, hang out here for awhile and you'll pick up all sorts of great ideas. Read some trip reports to see what others have done.
