I have been blessed to reside in the Treasure Beach area for over two decades. As an activist for sustainable agriculture, I have spent the past 20 years advocating for the farmers of this region.
Visitors and locals alike consistently comment on how Treasure Beach is just “different”. I don’t think it’s different, I think it’s magic. The people of Treasure Beach are tight-knit, but welcoming. The pace is sleepy and relaxed, but full of art and culture, never commercialised. The fishermen on the beach are just as quick to share in their fresh catch with you as they are a few beers at sunset.
My husband and I have raised our daughter in the region, grown our own food, grown friendships, grown community with locals, visitors, and expats alike. When Hurricane Melissa hit, Treasure Beach and its environs were particularly impacted. But the hurricane did nothing to change the spirit of the place. And in record time, local residents, NGOs, and countless visitors who love this place helped to get Treasure Beach back to its magical self.
