Treasure Beach: The Hidden Gem of Jamaica

Ask anyone who has been there where their favorite spot is in Jamaica, and they’ll likely name resorts in Negril, Montego Bay, or Ocho Rios.
I recently told a colleague I’d be visiting the Caribbean country. “Where?” she inquired, and said she’d been everywhere there.
“Treasure Beach,” I replied.
She’d never heard of it.
This sleepy beachside village on the south side of the island is a two-plus-hour drive of sharp curves, narrow roads, and pot holes from both Kingston’s and Montego Bay’s airports, but it’s worth every bout of nausea you’ll encounter along the way.

I've had a few cold ones at that bar. This was a few years ago.

Treasure beach is fine. It's off the beaten tourist path; so it is a more relaxed atmosphere.

The sea sand is volcanic (black/dark).

I would visit again.
