Treasure Beach, Beach coves in Saint Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica.
Treasure Beach comprises four distinct coves—Billy's Bay, Frenchman's Bay, Calabash Bay, and Great Bay—stretched along the coast of Saint Elizabeth Parish. Each cove has its own character, with sheltered waters and sandy shores that draw both locals and travelers.
The Taíno people settled this coastline over 1000 years ago, creating communities and trade networks before European colonization transformed the region. Their presence shaped the area's foundation and connection to the sea.
Fishing remains the heartbeat of daily life here, with locals selling their catches directly to the beachside establishments that line the shore.
You reach the coves by following minor roads from Black River or Santa Cruz that connect to the main highway and lead toward the shore. Basic supplies and drinking water are available at small shops scattered throughout the settlement.
About 600 meters from shore stands Floyd's Pelican Bar, a wooden structure on stilts that sits directly in the Caribbean, accessible only by boat. This floating establishment has become known through film and travel writing for its remote and unconventional setting.

The Caribbean holds beaches that have kept their natural shape and offer travelers a different view of the region. Some sit on small islands, others along coasts protected by coral reefs. Eagle Beach in Aruba draws visitors with its white sand, while Flamenco Beach on Culebra in Puerto Rico is known for its clear water. Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman stretches along the western shore, and Anse de Grande Saline in Saint Barthélemy remains secluded and backed by hills. Tulum in Mexico pairs beach with Mayan ruins, Bathsheba in Barbados shows rocky coastal formations, and Treasure Beach in Jamaica is a quiet fishing village with dark sand. Caribbean beaches vary in character and location. Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla and Long Bay in Saint Martin offer wide stretches of sand, while Half Moon Bay in Antigua stands out for its protected cove. Shoal Bay in Antigua is popular with snorkelers, Sorobon Beach in Bonaire sits in a shallow mangrove area, and Pigeon Point in Tobago features a long wooden jetty. Zoni Beach on Culebra sees few visitors, La Sagesse Bay in Grenada is lined with palms, and Varadero in Cuba runs for several miles along the northern coast. These beaches work as starting points for travelers looking to explore the region beyond the standard tourist circuit.
Jamaica offers a variety of natural sites: waterfalls like Dunn's River Falls, Caribbean beaches such as Seven Mile Beach, museums including the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, and colonial homes like Rose Hall. The Blue Mountains, limestone caves, and navigable rivers are part of the island's natural heritage. Botanical gardens, mineral springs, and bird sanctuaries complete these attractions.
