Seven Mile Beach is in Negril which is located on the west end of the island. The beach has golden sand and stretches on for seven miles. It’s an amazing place to spend the day with your sweetheart or your family. There are full-day trips you can book. Many of them will pick you up from your Jamaica vacation rental and drop you off when the day is done. Once you reach the beach you can go swimming, do some snorkeling, or just relax if you want to. You’ll likely see some cliff divers on your trip too. Bring a picnic or grab some lunch at Rick’s Café.

Along the southern coast of Jamaica is the Appleton Estate. It sits in the Nassau Valley and it is where Appleton Estate rum is crafted. Some of the world’s best rums are from the island of Jamaica.
