OVERVIEW
Treasure Beach is a coastal region in southern Jamaica, with several small settlements, beaches and farmland spread along a dry shoreline. Fishing and agriculture remain closely connected to the visitor economy. The relationship between quiet coves, fishing villages and low key guesthouses along a rural coast known for community tourism and slow travel and coastal region gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.
Swimming, local food and village walks provide the main experiences, while the absence of large resorts preserves a strong community atmosphere, while roads are slow but scenic. Spending time with both quiet coves and fishing villages and low key guesthouses along a rural coast known for community tourism and slow travel reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
