Great Bay Beach

Great Bay Beach is the primary swimming beach in the Treasure Beach area of St. Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica, stretching along the south coast with views of the Caribbean Sea and the distant Pedro Cays. The beach features dark sand formed from volcanic minerals, calm waters for swimming, and a handful of beachfront guesthouses and restaurants. Treasure Beach's community tourism model means Great Bay has no large resorts or vendors, preserving a peaceful and authentically Jamaican beach experience. Local fishermen work from the beach, and visitors can arrange boat trips to Pelican Bar, a floating bar built on a sandbar offshore. Aurum Transfers provides private airport transfers from Sangster International Airport (MBJ) starting at $320 for up to four guests, with complimentary Starlink WiFi. The 2 hour drive from MBJ crosses the central highlands to St. Elizabeth.
