TREASURE BEACH - ST. ELIZABETH

ABOUT TREASURE BEACH - ST. ELIZABETH
Treasure Beach isn't for everyone - five quiet coves in St. Elizabeth where community tourism was pioneered, there are no all-inclusive resorts, and Floyd's Pelican Bar sits a mile offshore on a sandbar accessible only by boat.
WHERE TO STAY
Jakes Hotel is the anchor - a boutique property built by the Henzell family that set the template for everything Treasure Beach has become. Katamah Beachfront Resort offers treehouse-style rooms with the waves directly below. Doubloon Villa, Rainbow Tree Villa, and Treasure Beach Hotel round out an accommodation scene that prioritizes character over chain branding.
The community bounced back from Hurricane Beryl in 2024 and Hurricane Melissa in 2025 with the kind of resilience that defines the people here.
THINGS TO DO
A mile offshore, Floyd's Pelican Bar sits on a sandbar - a driftwood shack accessible only by boat where you carve your name into the wood and drink Red Stripe in the middle of the sea. It's the most photographed bar in Jamaica for good reason. Fishermen pull painted canoes onto dark sand at dawn.
Jack Sprat restaurant at Jakes serves beachfront meals where the loudest sound most evenings is the clink of a rum bottle.
