Travelling on Jamaica’s South Coast, you’ll discover a treasure chest of coves and bays, where the Caribbean meets sandy and sometimes rocky shores. A mixture of dark and white sand stretches, rocky coves, fishermen’s enclaves and secluded swimming spots, the South Coast’s shores promise a range of possibilities. A favourite beach community of both locals and visitors alike is Treasure Beach (a spot that surely lives up to its name).

Treasure Beach is a six-mile stretch of coral-coloured and sometimes black sands, private coves and rocky shores. For travellers who want to discover the South Coast’s vibrant local culture and people and are in search of quiet beaches, a visit to one of Treasure Beach’s main bays – Billy’s, Calabash, Fort Charles (also known as Starve Gut) Great and Frenchman’s – is a must.

In Calabash Bay, friendly fishermen dock their brightly painted canoes and unload the day’s catch. Visitors swarm, waiting patiently at beachfront cafes and stands, so they can be first to enjoy it – soon to be seasoned and grilled to perfection. Other uniquely Jamaican dishes, such as curried goat, jerked meat and pumpkin soup are also available at roadside stands at Treasure Beach’s public beaches. All of lovely, laid-back stretches are well-suited for swimming, snorkelling, biking, hiking, and of course, the mellow vibes of kicking back in the sun with a cold Red Stripe in hand.

Day 3 - Floyd's Pelican Bar

This afternoon we suggest you enjoy a one-of-a-kind Caribbean experience at Floyd’s Pelican Bar near Treasure Beach, Jamaica. Our favourite way to do this is so that you are cruising home at sunset,  enjoying the beautiful sun sinking into the Caribbean sea.

Perched on a remote sandbar, this rustic haven is accessible solely by boat. Crafted from driftwood and palm fronds, it exudes an authentic island charm. Originally envisioned by owner Floyd as a fisherman’s retreat, it has since become popular with tourists.

Enjoy Red Stripe beer or rum cocktail, relish fresh seafood (leave enough time for this to be prepared on island time), and bask in the tranquillity of the Caribbean sea. Leave your mark on this rustic treasure by having your name carved into the wood surrounded by local art and memorabilia, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
