Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica
Treasure Beach
villas
Treasure Beach is a string of small fishing bays on Jamaica’s dry south coast in Saint Elizabeth, about two hours from Montego Bay. There is no resort strip and no cruise pier. The sand is darker, the water rougher, and the appeal is that it feels like a Jamaican village rather than a destination.

Straight answers
This is not a beach holiday in the usual sense
The south coast is dry and the sea here has real waves and undertow in places — it is not the flat turquoise of the north coast, and people who arrive expecting that are disappointed. What Treasure Beach offers instead is space, dark-sand bays with almost nobody on them, very good food at a handful of unmarked places, and a boat ride out to a bar built on stilts in the middle of the sea. It suits a particular kind of traveller very well and the wrong one very badly.
