Planning a Jamaica wedding or Jamaica Honeymoon why not consider a negril wedding as your wedding location or honeymoon location. Negril is one of my most favourite places in Jamaica. Its laid back charm almost endless white sands beach, horseback riding are just some of the reason I love this place. Negril is one of Jamaica's most favorite beach wedding locations and motivating this is the famous Negril lighthouse, Jamaica.
The Negril Lighthouse was built in 1894 by the French Company Bubbler & Bernard, on a tank 14 feet deep, which is kept filled with water. This is to keep the Tower balanced and secured in the event of an earthquake. The Tower which is built inland, is cylindrical and has an elaborate light surrounded by a metal and glass shield on top of which is a wind-wane.
Negril Light house is based at south Negril Point which is at the extreme western end of the island of Jamaica. It’s about 3 miles south of the center of Negril proper, just a brief drive along Westend Road. It is available from 9 am to sunset daily. This solid beacon which is painted white, stands 66 feet above ground level and the light is elevated 100 feet above sea level. The Lighthouse has an automatic white light which flashes every two seconds. The site is a well known wedding photography attraction of the Negril area and considered to be the highest structure in Negril.
You may talk to the Superintendent (Wilson Johnson) and may persuade him to take you for a tour inside. There are 103 steps that will take you to the top for a bird’s eye view. Standing tall at 100 feet. The lighthouse offers a sweeping view of the sea and countryside as they meld together, the Negril light house lawn is the perfect place for viewing the sun setting behind the ocean. Probably why it is Negril's most favorite wedding videography and photography spot. Many negril weddings memories have been recorded on the lawn of the Negril Point lighthouse.
The Negril Point light house is a functioning, historical building maintained by the Port Authority of Jamaica, an agency of the Ministry of Transport and Works. Because the lighthouse is a listed building, there are rules laid down that have to be adhered to. Even So these are not rigid enough to spoil any weddings in Negril.
Make your dream island wedding really special, have your ceremony in a unique setting by the sea.
