Intro / Features

Happy Sunday !

If I say 'Negril', what comes to your mind?

Well, supersize that when I mention Calico Jack's Pirate Shack!

...a 'treasure' island in the sea, approximately 15 mins outside of Negril!

Rated an impressive 4.5 on TripAdvisor and 4.9 of 5 on Facebook, it is for sure, Negril's finest attraction in the middle of the ocean!

I was there recently with Cherri, JahB and our guests, Amber (DC) and Edwardo (Brazil).

I took some fantastic photos, and is ready to share them with you!
