Treasure Beach is the name given to a stretch of four Jamaican coves and their associated settlements: Billy's Bay, Frenchman's Bay, Calabash Bay and Great (Pedro) Bay.[2]
The region is isolated from the main tourist areas and the minor roads connecting with the main highway at Black River or Santa Cruz tend to suffer damage in heavy rain, but are usually passable with care.[3] The roads have being rehabilitated and are now better than previous years. There are a few small hotels and guest houses serving tourists seeking a very quiet seaside location.[2]
Hurricane Beryl hit the villages on July 3, 2024 and caused a great deal of damage to the area.
