Holiday Destinations :: Treasure Beach, Jamaica

Welcome to Treasure Beach, South coast

Treasure Beach is a gem for travelers in search of the offbeat.  You'd find a more authentically charming and relaxing place in Jamaica.

Treasure Beach is the generic name given to four coves - Billy's Bay, Frenchmans's Bay, Calabash Bay, and Great Pedro Bay - that stretch for several miles south of Starve Gut Bay. Their rocky headlands separate lonesome coral-colored sand beaches. The long palm-backed curve of Treasure Beach is the node.

The area remains largely untouristed. The sense of remoteness, easy pace and graciousness of the locals (mostly farmers and fisherfolk) attract small handfuls of foreign travelers seeking an away-from-it-all, cares-to-the-wind lifestyle. Many have settled - much to local pride. To think that someone would leave behind the USA or Europe to live in their remote little place!

Treasure Beach is remote, untouched by human hands and the local folks would like it to remain so. Only the privilege few have experienced the serenity and laid back life in on the South Coast. Those who have visited have much to tell with glee the sheer pleasure of idling the days away in hammock under shaded tree, feeling the sand as it caress your feet and enjoying the heavenly scent of calm sea breeze.
