"Open" places to visit both BEACH and WEST END (Question)

[DawnMarie]

It's been over 3 years since I last visited Negril and since then there have been some changes and a few of the places I liked to go are now POOF-gone!
My question is this:
Where are some good places to get a beach chair/seat and drink/snack on the beach (used to use For Real bar/23-7/Boat Bar)?
Where are some good (inexpensive and teen friendly) places to eat, relax and visit while on the West End?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as our reach gets closer and closer-in the teens now with our countdown!
Bless,
Dm

Sun Beach bar/restaurant - right next to For Real/Sandy Haven. Great food, and still right on that same nice piece of beach.....

I'm not trying to be confrontational but we had lunch and drinks at Sun Beach in April. Sat in the restaurant area(not the bar). Hubby and I had a sandwich 2 stripes and 2 gin drinks and the bill was over $60. Seemed a bit pricey to us. Was it because we did not sit at the bar? Needless to say it was our most expensive lunch and not even close to being the best.

We went to Idle Awhile for breakfast and asked to stay at their beach. Nice service with prepared loungers and privacy. No cheap drinks though.Sun beach is usually inexpensive and fun. 180 -200J RedStripes. Xtabi on the cliffs for a great day of lounging and snorkelling. Gerry g is leading me to try out the Westender. Try the One love pub crawl to get a peek at different bar/restos on the cliffs.

hey Dawn Marie........nice to see you again..........

with For Real no longer I would opt for SunBeach which is next door to the old For Real for free lounge chairs and the cheapest Beers on the beach........
the Boat Bar is still there and hasn't changed much........
the Pilot House and Mama Flo's seems to have the best inexpensive eats on da beach.......

on the West End mi favorite place is da Canoe and mi would also go with Salt N Pepper, Sharks and Sips and Bites and even Three Dives for inexpensive eats.........
places like Pushcart, Rockhouse, Ricks, Ivans, Hungry Lion and even LTU are on the expensive side.........

as far as bars go;
Corner Bar has cheap drinks and beers
White Sands 2 for 1 drink specials till 4PM
Legends and SamSara Happy Hour 4 - 7PM
YellowBird Happy Hour 4 to sunset on da beach
Rockhouse 6-7pm
SeaStar Inn Happy Hour 4-6pm
Canoe Happy Hour 2-6pm - 2 for 1 Red Stripes $200J's
Coco LaPalm 2 for one Happy Hour from 5 to 7 every night but Monday
Boat Bar for 200J Red Stripes on da beach
Sunnyside Bar (Yellow and Green with bench seatiing - next to ROOMS) 150J Red Stripe Beers
SunBeach for 170J Red Stripes on da beach - it's mi hangout on da beach
Firefly for 170J Red Stripes on da beach
White Sands Mondays $160J Red Stripe Beers

hope that was some help.........

That is a good list Marko, you can also visit Seasplash for 2 happy hours, beach chairs and a great vibe. We also had alot of fun at PeeWee's, good prices too. Cheers!!!
