On a ragged shelf of coastal limestone at Negril’s west end, the sun leans low and the Atlantic dares the edge of land. Visitors arrive by air‑conditioned bus along the northern coast, stepping out into salt-warmed air, live reggae, and the practiced theatrics of professional cliff divers. The bar’s wooden platforms and natural plunge pools sit above a shallow coral drop-off where current meets rock and the water glints like a challenge.
