- Negril Lighthouse - Negril Lighthouse was built in 1894 1.5 miles south southeast of the westernmost tip of the island of Jamaica by the French company Barber & Bernard. It is one of the earliest concrete lighthouses.
This Lighthouse is situated at south Negril Point which is at the extreme western end of the Island. Built before the turn of the last century, the Negril Lighthouse has served the people of Jamaica since 1895. The Lighthouse, located a way out on the West End Road, past Rick’s Cafe, is a 100-foot tall structure and powered by solar energy. The power source was converted back in 1985, just a decade before it’s 100th anniversary. The Negril landmark still guides ships safely around Jamaica’s western edge. The Lighthouse has an automatic white light which flashes every two seconds.
