Negril, Jamaica (the Capital of Casual) is a hot spot for visitors. Bob Marley (Jamaica’s most famous Rastafarian son) may have put reggae and Jamaica on the map, but there’s a reason seniors visit this jammin’ island over and over again. With its breathtaking beaches, enchanting waterfalls and a captivating musical culture, Jamaica strikes a chord in the heart of senior travelers.

It’s fairly small with only 3,000 locals. You can’t help but relax and enjoy the festivities when you’re on the island. Negril is blessed with some of the best sunsets you’ll find anywhere in the world. Negril gets its name from the black cliffs south of the village.
