kelseyalice Says: A beautiful place with beautiful scenery and a great swimming pool. You can also zip line over the falls super fun!
kyoub Says: Lover's Leap is at the souteast end of Treasure Beach area. It is a cliff that is 1,000 feet above the sea. There is also a lighthouse there that is used fto spot or drug traffic .There are several tours to this spot now that the restaurant has been completed.
kyoub Says: Great Bay is the furthest village on the eastern edge of Treasure Beach. Beyond Great Bay the coast is undeveloped for many miles.
kyoub Says: Treasure beach is a real gem for travelers that are looking for something off the beaten path. You will find several miles of sand in this area and very few tourista. It is also a great area for hiking although there are no real tracks, only footpaths used by local...
asgottl Says: We stopped to eat at Pelican Bar and it was truly the best seafood I've had in years! I highly recommend asking Floyd to cook you up some Brown-stewed fish while you're there.
asgottl Says: If you go to Treasure Beach, you should hire one of the locals to take you up the Black River. Any of the drivers are great, especially Ted, Peck, Dennis, Bernard, Cider and Alan...I'd trust any of these guys (plus I'm sure I'm leaving off quite a few names).

There is no pulbic transportation to this area and the closest airport is in Montego Bay so the best way to get here and around is by rental car.

kyoub Says: We found some very interesting items at Jake's. There was a small building with many items for gifts or for yourself. I bought a photo frame with a streamertail hummingbird on one side. I really liked it. We also bought postcards, and some other gift items. I preferred...
asgottl Says: Stanley sets up his 'shop' over by the buntwood tree in Treasure Beach. He'll have interesting wood carvings, necklaces, calabashes, etc...pretty standard things, but he's a wonderful man to purchase from.
kyoub Says: Almost everyone that lives in this area has white ancestors. It is said that a group of Scottish sailors were shipwrecked near here, last century.I wouldn't bring this up as a custom except for the fact that this is probably the reason that the kids do not run out as you...
kyoub Says: The fishermen in this area go out to sea early every morning and return at sunset with their catch. Each bay has its own fishermen's cooperative.
kyoub Says: Every morning the women ride down from the hills to sell fresh fruit and vegetables, on their donkets. They are called donkey women. We saw them but I didn't want to be rude and stick a camera in their face.
asgottl Says: The children at Sandy Bank Basic school are absolutely precious! Every time I return to Treasure Beach, I'm compelled to venture into all the schools.

There is a strong undertow in this area so only swim where someone from the hotel tells you that is it safe. Better to be safe than sorry.

Luggage and bags: Pack light!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It is very casual here. Bring cotton clothing because it does get hot. Shorts,tops, swimwear, sandals, and a pair of sneakers will be all you need.
Miscellaneous: You will find acacia trees and cactus growing up to 30 ft tall. There is very little rainfall most of the year. Put on the sunscreen and sunglasses.

asgottl Says: The fishing Co-op is located in Calabash Bay. Head down for sunset and watch the fishermen return from the sea.
asgottl Says: Several people offer wonderful boat trips in Treasure Beach....this particular tour was with Alan...
asgottl Says: It's always difficult for me to return to Treasure Beach without my dear friend, Berry. We often discussed our life's dreams and ambitions with one another, and I always said that if I ever got married, I'd like to return to Treasure Beach for the ceremony. Berry insisted...
asgottl Says: My dear friend, Berry Berenson Perkins, was killed on September 11, 2001. She was on American Airlines Flight #11, the first plane that struck the World Trade Center. Berry was a true gift! I feel so fortunate to have had her in my life. She radiated warmth and...

Deserted beaches, unspoiled spectacular scenery, Rasta culture and no hassles are what you will find here. You may hike or bike the deserted coastline, lounge on the secluded beaches, climb the cliffs...
Treasure Beach is truly home in every sense of the word. After spending several years living in Treasure Beach, it's difficult to only spend a short holiday there.
The REAL Jamaica, where visitors are welcome.
I was born in Jamaica. I live with my sisters and parents. I have alot of cousins that live in the neighboring houses, the picture above is them coming to check me out when I came home. Mom and Dad...
Treasure Beach is a nice town in the south of Jamaica. The beaches might not be as beautiful as in the north, but it´s not spoilt by Resorts...
Treasure Beach promised to be sleepy and relaxed, and it disappoint. Of course the sunsets were beautiful. We stayed at a small hotel called Mar Blue, run by a German couple.
