Rick’s Café & the Famous Cliff Diving Show
A highlight of this adventure is the stop at Rick’s Café, dramatically perched on Negril’s limestone cliffs at the island’s western tip. Founded in 1974 by Richard “Rick” Hershman, it was the first public venue built on these cliffs, now famous for unforgettable sunsets and heart-stopping cliff dives.
Between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., professional cliff divers and the occasional fearless tourist leap from heights of 10 to 35 feet into the deep blue sea below. If you’d rather stay dry, you can still enjoy the moment with a cold drink, some local snacks, and a front-row seat to one of Jamaica’s most iconic sunsets.
A Touch of Local History
Did you know the name “Negril” comes from the Spanish word Negrillo (“little black one”)? It referred to the eels that once lived along the reefs here. Negril remained a quiet fishing village until the 1950s and 60s, when it started attracting adventurous travelers who built the first guesthouses, laying the foundation for the tourism hub it is today.
Rick’s Café itself has been rebuilt twice after major hurricanes. Hurricane Gilbert and Hurricane Ivan both caused significant damage, but the café emerged stronger each time. Today, it spans 1.5 acres and remains a cultural icon on the island.
