Joseph's Cave
About This Museum
Believe it or not, one of Negril's most captivating historical sites isn't on land, but beneath it. Joseph's Cave is a stunning natural limestone cavern that feels a world away from the bustling coastline above. You'll find yourself in a cool, echoing chamber where the only light dances off ancient rock formations and crystal-clear pools. It’s a place that hums with a quiet, ancient energy, telling stories of Taino inhabitants and Maroon freedom seekers who once took refuge here.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the cave itself—a breathtaking cathedral of stalactites and stalagmites. Look for subtle Taino petroglyphs etched into the walls and imagine the lives of those who sheltered within this natural fortress. The serene underground lake adds an almost magical quality to the space.
Visitor Information
It's located on West End Road, so it's easy to pair with a cliff-jumping adventure or a sunset view. Wear shoes with good grip for the stone paths, and don't forget your swimsuit for a dip in that incredible grotto pool.
Architecture & Building
This isn't a man-made building but a magnificent natural cave system carved over millennia by water dissolving the soft limestone. The entrance opens into a vast, open-air grotto that leads to darker, more enclosed chambers.
