Negril Lighthouse, situated on the westernmost point of Jamaica in Westmoreland Parish, stands as a beacon of historical significance and natural beauty. Constructed in 1894 by the French company Bubbler & Bernard, this 66-foot tall, white concrete tower was among the first of its kind on the island. Its unique foundation—a 14-foot deep water tank—was designed to stabilize the structure against earthquakes. Now powered by solar energy, the lighthouse emits a white flash every two seconds, guiding mariners safely along the coast.

 

Visitors can ascend 103 steps to the top, where superintendent Wilson Johnson offers insights into its storied past and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Open daily from 9 AM to sunset, Negril Lighthouse is a must-visit for history buffs and nature enthusiasts alike

 

The Lighthouse is located at latitude 18º 15' north and longitude 78º 23' west.
