It is sometimes known among tourists as the "7-Mile Beach" although it is only slightly more than 4 mi (6.4 km) in length, from the Negril River on the south to Rutland Point on the north.
Getting there
Sangster International Airport (MBJ IATA), Montego Bay. Sangster Airport is 5 km (3.1 mi) from Montego Bay and 81 km (50 mi) from Negril. It receives flights from the U.S., Canada, the UK, and several European countries. (updated May 2023)
See
Walk through the Historical District of Falmouth, visit the town squares, houses of famous historians, churches, and parks. Visit the Rockland Bird Sanctuary near Montego Bay to see the many varieties of birds. The Glistening Waters are found in Falmouth's Luminous Lagoon, where the mixture of two bodies of water create bioluminescence micro-organisms that when disturbed at night glow brightly. The Glistening Waters is only one of four such locations in the world and the only location where the luminary reaction can be seen 365 days of the year regardless of the temperature or the weather.
Do
The beaches of Montego Bay and Negril are spectacular, and there are lots of water sports, tours and other activities.
