You step out of the air-conditioned van and the salt-sweet air of Negril hits first — warm, blunt, and insistently coastal. The road from Montego Bay unwinds along low limestone coast, the land flattening into wide white sand; Seven Mile Beach stretches like an invitation while the West End cliffs where Rick's Cafe perches send spray and shouts into the sky.
