Travelling to Treasure Beach?
From $610 Β· 4 hrs 15 min from Norman Manley Airport
Treasure Beach is Jamaica's best-kept secret - five quiet coves strung along the southern coast of St. Elizabeth, where fishing boats rest on dark sand and the pace of life slows to a drift. There are no all-inclusives here, no cruise ships pulling into port, no neon nightlife strips. What you will find is the birthplace of Jamaica's community tourism movement, a place where visitors eat at roadside cookshops, explore mangrove-lined rivers, and watch the sun drop below the Caribbean Sea from a driftwood bar.
This guide covers everything you need to know about getting from the airport to Treasure Beach by private transfer, where to stay, and what to see once you arrive.
Transfer Prices to Treasure Beach
All prices are for up to four guests in a private vehicle. Fixed pricing, no surprises.
Most guests flying into Kingston will land at Norman Manley International (KIN), which is the nearest airport to Treasure Beach. The drive south takes roughly three hours and passes through the Jamaican countryside - rolling sugar cane fields, small market towns, and the dramatic Santa Cruz Mountains. Your Aurum Transfers driver will be waiting inside the terminal with a name board, cold water, and a vehicle equipped with Starlink satellite WiFi so you can stay connected for the entire journey.

What to See and Do
Appleton Estate Rum Tour
One of the most popular day trips from Treasure Beach, the Appleton Estate in the Nassau Valley has been producing Jamaica's finest rum since 1749. The guided tour walks you through the distillation process from cane to cask, with tastings of aged expressions that you will not find in stores back home. Allow about 45 minutes by car each way.
Bamboo Avenue
A two-and-a-half-mile stretch of road canopied by towering bamboo on the drive between Treasure Beach and the south coast interior. The arching bamboo forms a natural green tunnel that filters the sunlight into dappled patterns on the road. It is one of the most photographed stretches of road in Jamaica and a must-see on the transfer route.
Treasure Beach Fishing Village Experience
This is what sets Treasure Beach apart from every other destination on the island. Walk the beach at dawn and watch the fishermen haul in the morning catch, buy fresh snapper or lobster directly from the boats, and eat it grilled at one of the seaside cookshops. The fishing village experience is not a tourist attraction - it is daily life, and visitors are welcomed into it with genuine warmth.
Jack Sprat Beach
Named after the beloved beachside restaurant and bar, Jack Sprat Beach sits just below Jakes Hotel and serves as the social hub of Treasure Beach. The sand is coarse and dark, the water calm, and the vibe completely unhurried. Order jerk fish, sip a Red Stripe, and settle in for the afternoon.
