Moon Author's Review
The light complexion generally seen in Treasure Beach and St. Elizabeth is said to owe to Scots who had unsuccessfully settled in Darion Point, Panama, and were forced to flee. It is said that William III sent word that the Scots were not to come into any port, so they beached their ships at Treasure Beach. Treasure Beach started to become an offbeat destination in the 1970s, and fortunately developed at a slow pace, giving the area a chance to define for itself an alternate approach that has been far more equitable for the community than other tourist destinations around Jamaica.
