Who ever chose Negril as #4 [edited by TB.Net] is just plain crazy !
I have been to several of the beaches mentioned in the article, and as for as I am concerned, Negril would not make the list.
Yes Negril is the nicest beach in Jamaica, but definitely not #4 in the world !
ONE LOVE !!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
I can remember back in the day , visiting Negril beach and thinking to myself this is paradise. I visited again a few years later and was in mourning. Need I say anymore.
If you look at some of the other beaches on the list, such as Daytona Beach, which is not a nice beach at all, but which is a popular tourist destination, it is apparent that this poll is really "favorite" beach or most popular beach, not "best beach."
IMHO, as always.
Shouldn't one of the criteria for "best beach" take into consideration an untrammeled tropical wilderness where Nature Rules rather than the hustle and bustle of commercialism?...where I can see for miles and miles and miles and the canoes rowing by go whush.
