Negril, Coastal city in western Jamaica
Negril extends along a curved coastline featuring white sand beaches, limestone cliffs, and clear waters near the westernmost point of Jamaica.
The Spanish colonizers named this location Negrillo in 1494, referencing either the black eels inhabiting local waters or the dark appearance of the coastal waters.
The Reggae Marathon, established in 2001, brings together international runners and music enthusiasts each year for a race along Negril's coast.
The city stretches across two parishes, Westmoreland and Hanover, situated 80 kilometers southwest of Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport.
The Great Morass wetlands near Negril contain diverse wildlife populations and protected coral reefs that support numerous marine species.
