When the visitor needs a quieter and more peaceful area, they should move to Treasure Beach on the south coast. It offers a cluster of quiet fishing villages on six miles of coastline consisting of Billy’s Bay, Frenchman’s Bay, Calabash Bay and Great Bay. Treasure Beach is famous for its snorkeling, surfing and swimming for the friendly residents where most of them are farmers or fishermen. This area is said to be a “desert coast” as it receives the least amount of rainfall and the vegetation is also different compared to anywhere else in Jamaica.

YS Falls

YS Falls is located on the south shore. It is a series of seven waterfalls in a tropical forest. The falls have the shortest place name in all of Jamaica. Parts of it are open for swimming. Somerset Falls in Port Antonio and Mayfield Falls in the Glenbrook district have two waterfalls and 21 mineral pools. This welcomes guests to YS Falls.

Green Grotto Caves

The Green Grotto caves have striking limestone stalactites and stalagmites. The Green Grotto caves offer a nice trip for visitors who need a break from the sun. The caves supposedly served as a refuge for the Arawak Indians who were the first residents of Jamaica, a place of protection for runaway slaves, and a hideout for arms dealers.

Bluefields Mountains

A drive through the Bluefields Mountains pays tourists spectacular views of Bluefields Bay. It also provides an opportunity to spot some of the more than 250 species of Jamaican birds that call the island home, including 27 found only on Jamaica. Among the plant species of the Bluefields Mountains is Chusquea abietifolia, a bamboo. It blooms its flowers only once every 33 years and its next bloom is scheduled for 2017. A bird that nests on the ground instead of in the trees, varieties of rare yellow snakes, and the giant swallowtail butterfly are the big impacts of these Bluefield Mountains.
