Hot on the heels of TripAdvisor’s Top Beaches Worldwide comes the Top Caribbean Beaches for 2014. Unsurprisingly, many of the beaches featured in this list are also highlighted in the Top Beaches Worldwide list. To save repeating ourselves like a proverbial parrot, we decided to take a closer look at a spectacular location that was missing from the worldwide list – Jamaica!
Jamaica is an island boasting something for everyone, with hundreds of miles of soft white sand, a colourful cultural heritage and the most stunning landscapes. Negril is laid-back and spread out along a beautiful 7-mile stretch of golden beach. This beach, aptly named Seven Mile Beach, made it into the Top 10 Caribbean Beaches and, you guessed it, you can find it right here with us!
Seven Mile Beach – Negril, Jamaica
A stunning, powder-soft white sand beach, with calm turquoise waters and easy entertainment. The beautiful stretch of beach is immaculately clean and a superb destination for easy morning walks or runs. The deepest the water within the swimming area is approximately five feet, presenting an ideal location for children to play. When you’re not bathing in the lovely warm water, the beach is great for relaxing and watching the world go by.
