Treasure Beach, Jamaica
Treasure Beach is the name given to a stretch of four Jamaican coves and their auxiliary settlements: Billy's Bay, Frenchman's Bay, Calabash Bay and Great Pedro Bay.
The region is isolated from the main tourist areas and the minor roads connecting with the main highway at Black River or Santa Cruz tend to suffer damage in heavy rain, but are usually satisfactory with care. There are a few small hotels and guest houses serving tourists aspire a very quiet seaside location. Calabash bay is a 600m long beach has a narrow strip of brown sand mixed with magnetite black sand.
The swimming is good, but since the beach is open to the south, small breakers sometimes appear when it’s windy. Tourists seeking to escape the all-inclusive-shut-in-the-hotel experience find this area of the island most satisfying.
