    For those who would like a glimpse of Negril Beach before development

    Disney shot the Cannibal Island sequence for 20,000 leagues under the Sea in Negril in 1954. Many locals became extras for that scene. If you watch the movie, you will notice some of the Cannibals are having a difficult time keeping a straight face.

    I would like to find some more footage of the beach pre 1960. You will notice that the beach is not very wide at this time.

    Later in the scene when Douglas and Lore run out of the bush and down the beach you can see how many coconut trees used to line the coast. The beach is wider now because the coconut trees are gone.
