Encountering Another Jamaica, by Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff
"Treasure Beach, a village in the southwest parish of St. Elizabeth. It’s probably the area in Jamaica best known for community tourism — low-impact travel that works in relative sync with the locals. Once a fishing village, over the past 30 years, Treasure Beach has become a beacon for tourists looking to travel off the beaten track.
"The stunning beaches were (an) obvious draw, along with a variety of well-priced, locally owned guest rooms and villas."

"Have Covid restrictions ruined paradise? No — if anything it’s a comfort to know that things are being taken seriously, even on this sunshine-filled island. The antigen tests and resilience corridors — which cover the key tourist areas including Montego Bay, Negril and Treasure Beach — mean that visitors stay in a protected bubble and islanders are kept as safe. It is absolutely the right place for us, and we are all incredibly grateful that we’ve been able to travel together as a family to such a fantastic country."
