Negril. Best beach holiday in my life. Apparently, not only in mine, because the Negril Beach is included in the top beaches of the world. And I understand why.
White shallow sand. So soft that does not roll legs. On this sand can be walking in the sun, and he is all the same cool.
Clean water, perfectly and azure color. Pretty finely, even at the boobs the depth of water is maximum throat. Waves almost never happen, everything is quiet and calm.
Musicians walk on the beach, playful gauze songs play. Traders are still walking. Sell fruits, crafts from wood, bracelestics, rings.
Fruits, by the way, on the beach are crazy money. Sugar cane is asked for 3 dollars. And if you walk to the center of Negril, then there you can buy the same bag for the dollar. The same with coconuts, mango and other things.
Cigarettes. Cigarettes on the beach sell on 10-12 dollars per pack. But prices do not particularly differ in prices. In the cheapest Chinese supermarket in the center of Negril - almost $ 8 per pack. So it is better to go with your own. And not give anyone. This is such a local Jamaican habit - shoot cigarettes from tourists. In a couple of days, you distribute a pair of packs, then you will go to the store - and then you understand why they shoot, and do not buy.
Not far from the Negril Beach there is a coral island. Every morning, local guys suggest going there on a boat with a glass bottom. By the way, I didn't imagine a glass bottom. It turned out that this is just a window in the bottom of the boat. Really, the right window.
Island is very beautiful. Local fishermen clean the catch there, seagulls are spinning over them. In a pair of meters, fresh lobsters are sold from them. Just come to the cage, choose the right one, and it is immediately prepared on the grill.
Nearby is a tent, where they sell beer and cigarettes. Casual. Expensive.
And before landing on the island, the boatmen will take everyone on the reefs, where they give masks with flops and send to swim with the fish. And if you finish, you can see not only fish, but also those most lobsters hiding in corals.
In the evenings on the beach, the bonfires light up and the music sounds. Dozens of beach cafes open parties. Somewhere playing live music, somewhere DJs. Independent atmosphere. Well, the smell of grass, of course. She now is used on Jamaica.
The people in Negrile are very friendly. Everyone is suitable, greet, ask about your country, tell about your own. Yes, at first, most of them greet only in order to "crawl". But after a couple of minutes they forget what they came up.
You can chat with Jamaians with hours. They not only love their country, but also love to tell about it. Love to discuss news, traditions, love to decline, find out the differences in the mentality. Of course, they love to tell about their lives. Often embellish, sometimes they can bring or swing.
And anyway, a couple of weeks on the beach you can learn a lot about Jamaica and Jamaitsa. You can also go to visit. They will feed local delicacies and spend home.
Jamaica is an amazing country with a beautiful nature, beautiful beaches and kind cute people. And Negril is the best place to stay, because only this village can be so close to communicate with the local one. In 5 * the hotel is an inaccessible option.
