The Negril seven-mile shoreline stretches wide and flat; palms lean like curious spectators while the surf whispers and then pushes you forward. Later, the cliff at Rick’s Cafe lifts like an island theater where local divers time their arcs against a burning sky and the band cues a slow, live reggae beat.
