Check out the cliffs-- you could visit a cliffside resort and order from their bar or restaurant or go to Ricks , even though it is a tourist trap it will give you an idea of what the sea is like off the west end-- do a dive or take a jump! Or you could do one of the sunset catamaran cruises and see everything from the sea side of things. Wild thing cruises provide drinks and go up the beach to the cliff area and then stop so you can swim off the catamaran or snorkel. Also just walk the beach one day and stop anywhere that looks cool for a drink, snack, etc. Go to a webcast at realnegril.com, or visit a webcast or two online from home to get some ideas-you can join the live chat and ask any questions you might have. Get off the resort a day or two. It is a short trip but def. check out some other parts of Negril. Have fun and congrats on your first trip!
