Sunday, 22 November 2009 00:11 LAST_UPDATED2 Written by Administrator

th_bloody_bayLocated just north of a slice of land jutting out towards Booby Cay is Bloody Bay - one of Negril's most picturesque beaches. There is some debate about how the beach claimed its name. Some argue it was the site of a vicious pirate battle, but most believe hunters used to massacre whales there, turning the sea blood-red. Shrouded by this seemingly dark past, Bloody Bay still mystifies and intrigues beachgoers with its beauty.
