The south coast offers an untouched piece of jamaica that is delightfully off the beaten path.

Located three hours from Montego Bay’s airport, South Coast is quite removed from the touristy hub towns of the island.

Characterised by rocky coves, black-sand beaches and secluded swimming spots, Treasure Beach offers a six-mile strand that is known for its four bays: Billy’s, Calabash, Fort Charles Great and Frenchman’s Bay.

Fonthill Beach Park and Wildlife Sanctuary is another natural refuge. Though realatively small, the park is well organised, offering visitors a number of amenities, including a roped-off swimming area, showers, changing facilities, restrooms, picnic tables and lifeguards within a larger wildlife sanctuary.

YS Falls is one of the island’s most magnificent waterfalls. This seven-tiered waterfall, with vast wading pool fed by underground springs, offers a diverse selection of activities, from a canopy zip line to refreshing natural spring pools and acres of tropical gardens.

Black River is also a quintessential stop in the South Coast tour. The second longest river in Jamaica, it is the launching point for an exciting river tour through Jamaica’s morass landscape.

Visit Lover’s Leap, named after a pair of slaves who were so in love that they chose to leap to their deaths rather than be separated. A wooden carving stands vigil over the 1,700-foot cliff. Nearby, Lover’s Leap Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in the Western Hemisphere.

Fishing and farming communities converge on the South Coast, as expanses of farmland stretch towards the horizon. St. Elizabeth is the island’s breadbasket and is home to 40,000 farmers.
