Having a couple days off of work, we hopped on a standby flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta. After spending the night sleeping on a bench in the Atlanta airport, we woke up and found open seats on a morning flight to Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Cliff Jumping and exploring the coast with our Jamaican friend

After landing in Montego Bay, we made our way to the west side of the island to Negril. We met a friend there who showed us around the coast and did a little cliff jumping and swimming.

Our new Jamaican friend showed us a cool secret spot below the cliffs!

Rick’s Cafe

If you come to the west coast of Jamaica, Rick’s Cafe is a must-stop. This spot was recommended to me by my good friend Brandon Barr. It is a hopping little coastal restaurant with live reggae music, fresh grilled jerk chicken, cliff jumping, and all around fun vibes. It is known for it’s sunsets, and I have to say the sunset here was one of the most beautiful that I have ever seen. It is quite unlike any other place I’ve been before.

Where can I find Rick’s Cafe?

Description

Negril Lighthouse

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I guess this lighthouse is a pretty iconic spot. I remember thinking it was pretty cool when we were there, and the whole location looked like it had a lot of history to it.
