"The quiet part of Jamaica." Treasure Beach by kyoub

Treasure Beach Travel Guide: 27 reviews and 49 photos

Treasure beach

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 or explore the caves of the Great Pedro Bluff, kayak or bird watch in the Great Salt Pond.
You won't find a more charming place than this in Jamaica.

Lover's Leap

A long way down

The Santa Ceuz mountains form the backdrop to the south coast where miles of beaches are among the gems of Jamaica. Lover's Leap at the south end of Treasure Beach is a cliff rising 1,000 ft above the see.
You won't want to get very close if you have a fear of heights.

Calabash Bay

Cove

Another lovely cove in Treasure Beach. This is where Jake's Place is located. A rustic, out of the way place to play.
South of Calabash Bay are the great Pedro Ponds, a great place for hiking and birding

Pros and Cons

Pros:Great birding
Cons:A little eerie
In a nutshell:Off-the-beaten-path

Treasure Beach sounds wonderful - doesn't it conjure up thoughts of pirates. I wonder if there's an old map somewhere, marked with a cross. cheers - leyle
