Calabash Bay (Treasure Beach)

South Coast · St. Elizabeth

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Calabash Bay is the central beach of the Treasure Beach community on the St. Elizabeth south coast, and home to most of the area's guesthouses, restaurants and small hotels including Jakes and Jack Sprat. The sand is darker than the north coast — a product of the south's volcanic heritage — and the gentle, amber-toned water is swimmable most of the year. Fishing boats are pulled up along the sand and go out daily. The vibe is slow, bohemian and community-led, with local kitchens, beach bars and live music nights setting the rhythm.

About beaches in Jamaica

Jamaica is home to over 80 beaches strung along three distinct coastlines. The north coast — anchored by Negril's Seven Mile Beach, Doctor's Cave in Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios — is the world-famous resort strip with calm turquoise water. The east coast around Port Antonio hides the most dramatic coves: Frenchman's Cove, Winnifred Beach, and Boston Bay. The south coast offers laid-back local favourites like Treasure Beach, Bluefields, and Hellshire. From the cliff-jumping spot at Rick's Café to the secluded sands of Lime Cay, this guide covers every beach worth visiting.
