Site Map
A listing of the different categories found on TreasureBeach.Net, a web site focusing on community tourism on the south coast of Jamaica. We are half travel guide, half virtual meeting place for tourists, locals, and Jamaicans who have emigrated. Enjoy!
The TB Runnins contains on-line discussion groups featuring what's new to this web site, what our residents and visitors are talking about, and a monthly profile of a Treasure Beach resident written by a local student.
Treasure Beach has a wide spectrum of accommodations.
* For the budget minded, there are camping spots and guesthouses with kitchen facilities.
* Those looking for more amenities will find fully equipped beach cottages and a few hotel rooms at moderate prices.
* Or for complete indulgence, private villas with personal cook, swimming pool, and individual attention are available. Whatever your style and budget, we have a place to suit you.
Treasure Beach has various beach cafes, road-side stands, and one or two more upscale, but far from formal, restaurants. What we don't have are exclusive, 'guest-only' restaurants. Everyone is welcome everywhere. Enjoy local dishes of pumpkin soup, ackee and salt fish, jerk chicken and pork, or even curried goat. And don't forget the incredible fresh lobster*, fish, crab, conch*, and sea puss (octopus) which our fishermen provide daily. In fact, you can watch them unload their catch on the beach and choose your dinner right there.

Swimming, snorkeling, sun bathing, body surfing, biking, hiking? We've got them in abundance. Sitting under a tree with a cold Red Stripe beer, chatting with a new Jamaican friend? No problem, mon. Waterfalls, fishing excursions, boat trips, golfing, rum factory tours, mineral baths, a visit to Bob Marley's birthplace? They're all just a day trip away.

Creativity has always flourished in Treasure Beach, and in recent years the community has been host to numerous theatrical, musical and literary events. In addition there are many talented visual artists living in the area.
Treasure Beach is located within the parish of St. Elizabeth, known island-wide for having the friendliest and hardest working people found anywhere in Jamaica. The sign welcoming visitors to the parish states, "In this parish we work, not shirk". This well-deserved reputation derives from a work ethic instilled in generations of farmers and fishermen and is one more way in which Treasure Beach is set apart from the rest of the island.
Treasure Beach is a community-based tourism destination. We care about the future of this area, its schools, and its residents. We believe that the focus of development must benefit and envelop the entire community, not just the tourism sector.
