Rick’s Cafe is a magnet for both locals and visitors, and it's easy to see why. This hotspot offers live reggae music, tantalizing beverages, and an unmatched view of Negril’s iconic sunsets. Not to be missed is the exhilarating Negril cliff diving that takes place throughout the day. The cliffs vary in height, from around 8 feet to an impressive 40 feet. As you soak in the atmosphere, you might witness a fearless local putting on a show by leaping from the tops of trees above the cliffs.

A cherished diving locale in the Caribbean, Rick’s has been a beloved bar and restaurant since 1974, and diving traditions date back even further. A visit to Rick’s is a must, and cliff diving here is a Negril rite of passage. Whether you're taking the leap yourself or enjoying the spectacle from a prime spot, we recommend savouring a drink as the sun sets. Make the most of your time at Rick's Cafe, where the excitement and the view are second to none.
