For more about Treasure Beach:

"Welcome to a unique part of Jamaica that gets all the facets of the quintessential Caribbean experience exactly right. Winding country lanes, a dearth of hustlers, a local population of poets and artists, deserted beaches, no gimmicky resorts, and – above all – a proud, foresighted local community that promotes sustainability and harbors a bonhomous but mellow culture."

Treasure Beach and exploring the South Coast is on Lonely Plant's Best In Travel 2023 list.

Treasure Beach is also listed as one of Jamaica's essential experiences by Lonely Planet:

"As a beach destination, Treasure Beach is heaven—or the next closest thing to heaven. Here are the reasons. For starters, it’s so quiet and serene. One feels literally transported out of the world. It’s the sound of crashing waves, the magical views of the ocean extending to the distant horizon, and the blue curtain that’s charmingly stretched out overhead—that immediately strikes a visitor. The vibe is slow-paced and laid-back. Even the birds that fly overhead don’t seem to be in a hurry. It’s only the huge waves that ripple the ocean surface that doesn’t appear to pick the cue—many times hurrying to the shore in heart-sinking swirls. And then there’s the sand..."
