Excursões, guias e férias de Jamaica

Nós necessitamos fazer exame sobre um desengate a Kingston desta semana passada e nós decidimo-nos fazer um desengate prolongado da estrada fora da movimentação de 250km. Foi uma estadia longa desde que eu fui a algumas partes da costa sul de Jamaica e a família nunca foi aos lugares como a praia do tesouro assim que nós decidimo-nos que este seria nosso primeiro batente na maneira a Kingston e aos portos de transporte onde nós necessitamos escolher acima um tambor que nós enviamos dos estados.

Nós começamos um começo atrasado no dia e chegamos na tarde atrasada porque eu escolhi parar sobre tempos de um infinito para retratos e material. A câmera nova é grande mas pode ser um distraction. Eu fiz exame de um total de 2500 fotografias sobre uma nossa aventura de 3 dias. Está fresco super a ter assim que muitos tiros a escolheram para do local agora mas eu provavelmente desperdicei uma hora que faz exame de fotos e messed acima de minha programação. Nunca gastando muita hora na praia do tesouro eu era unsure onde seja o mais melhor lugar a permanecer em quando nós chegamos mas alguma pesquisa rápida TreasureBeach.net alistou todas as acomodações disponíveis na praia do tesouro e em muito mais. Eu fui no conselho mais adicional de minha guia Jamaican favorita do curso e escolheu casas de campo arenosas do monte para nossa primeira visita das noites. É um lugar realmente agradável a permanecer, procura minha revisão mais adicional mais tarde esta semana.

Chegar tarde como nós mim fomos focalizados mais em encontrar o lugar para permanecer para a noite e após ter descarregado algumas de nossas coisas no quarto nós retiramos para um passeio curto em torno da praia do tesouro apenas assim que nós poderíamos todos ver o lugar. A praia do tesouro é um lugar para relaxation descontraído e não há muito a fazer na noite exceto tem alguns alimento e bebidas em no seu recurso ou de muitos estabelecimentos pequenos na cidade. There are but a few larger places in town such as Jakes with more than a handful of customers on any given evening and for the most action you’ll probably spend much of your time at Jakes or Jack Sprats Beach.

Jakes Place in Treasure Beach

Jack Sprat Beach

Both of these places are very nice places closer to Calabash Bay and by far the more popular spots in the Treasure Beach. Jakes Place is more the night time spot open until late every evening and Jack Sprats is more popular during the day for its wonderful beaches and free showers for restaurant clients. If you had a place to camp in the area you could bath and eat at Jack Sprats and stay in TB for as little as the cost of lunch each day. I had a hard time finding anyone interested in renting out some camping spaces and we ended up with a room for our stay in Treasure Beach.

Treasure Beach is very much a lazy fishing village with little more to do than hang on the beach or participate in the variety of watersports available. Treasure Beach is well known to offer some of the best fishing in Jamaica and many of the area residents earn a living from the nearby seas. The fishing in TB is varied and you can hire a professional charter boat from places like Jakes or you can do as most do and negotiate a day trip with a local fisherman and spend the day like so many Jamaicans do by working your butt off in the hot sun hoping to catch enough to eat for dinner for you and your family.

Many visitors to Jamaica come here to relax in the natural beauty of the island and chill on the beach with a Red Stripe or spliff in hand. If that’s what you want from a vacation in Jamaica than Treasure Beach is the place for you. Some say Treasure Beach is what Negril was about 30 years ago and it’s pretty easy to see that the lack of development and tourists has been a blessing in many ways to the people of Treasure Beach and the South Coast of Jamaica.

Treasure Beach is actually a collection of bays along the South Coast of Jamaica with the more popular being Calabash Bay. The best place for beach access seems to be the road alongside the Golden Sand Resort which provides access to the public beaches of Frenchmans Cove and makes for a great start for a leisurely stroll down the beach. If you’re not into the beach and fishing than there may well be no reason at all for you to visit Treasure Beach. If you appreciate having a gorgeous beach all to yourself than Treasure Beach Jamaica may well be the paradise for you that it is for so many others. Look for more articles on places to stay and things to do in Treasure Beach coming from us over the next week or two.

• Bob Marley Birthday Bash in Negril a Review (0)

I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to at least make it for the events on February 7th thru the 10th. I plan on being at the Bob Marley concert here in Negril on February 6th and I doubt I’l be driving early on Feb 7th but I know I can be in Ocho Rios for the morning of the 8th and the rest of the festival. Anyone interested in going with me to the Fat Tire festival in Ochi?

The St. Mary Off-Road Bicycling Association (SMORBA) is pleased to announce that the coolest mountain bike event on the planet is back! The 10th Annual Jamaica Fat Tyre Festival is set for February 5-10 in the lush, tropical mountains of St. Mary. This year’s event will feature even more of the “irie vibes” that were featured in the June 2007 issue of Decline Magazine.

The Festival is set to kick off with a welcome and registration party on the evening of February 5th at John Crow’s Tavern (the Festival HQ) located in the heart of Ocho Rios – the vibes capital of Jamaica’s beautiful North Coast.

On the first full day of the Festival riders will shuttle up to Murphy Hill, perched high above Ocho Rios. After taking in the view it will be time to let brakes overheat on the blistering descent to world renowned Dunn’s River Falls. After regrouping at John Crow’s, the crew heads out to the friendly communities of Oracabessa, Hamilton Mtn, and Jacks River. Checking out SMORBA’s trails in western St. Mary is sure to prepare riders for the after-ride relaxation and the evening’s festivities at “Conscious Corner” bar in Rio Nuevo.

February 7th will see participants going deep into rural Jamaica near Robin’s Bay, St. Mary. These amazing, technical singletracks (including the famed Carlton Pass) are the trails that led Katrina Strand to proclaim “This is the best day of my life… and it isn’t even over yet!” This epic day will culminate with a complimentary meal and soiree at Robin’s Bay Beach Hotel.

On February 8th riders will trek to Pimento Hill in St Mary for a more relaxed day of singletrack, downhills, and waterfalls ending at Black Sand Beach where a meal of roast breadfruit and other local dishes will be prepared by local SMORBA dude, Natty Grant. In what has already become a favorite tradition of the JaFTF, local fishermen will shuttle riders from the beach to the pick up point by boat!

February 9th is a day for riders to relax and take in the fabulous surroundings of Ocho Rios. Shopping at Island Village, chilling at the beach or checking out Shaw Park Gardens, Ocho Rios has many entertaining options. SMORBA will also offer an optional afternoon excursion to White River Adventure Park in the nearby mountains.

February 10th is the day for Jamaicans to show off their own local riding skills. Dubbed “A celebration of Jamaican Bicycling Culture” the Jamaica Bicycle Bash is designed to provide a unique, fun-filled atmosphere centered around all things bicycle. Highlights will include a 5 mile race looping through Oracabessa, a “Gas Done” gas cylinder carrying race, a “Big Man, Small Bicycle” race and many other games and contests that are sure to provide great entertainment!

Spots for this year’s Festival are limited, so if you are interested in attending, or need more information, drop us a line at smorbaja@hotmail.com

The 2008 Jamaica Fat Tyre Festival is being supported by: Jamaica Tourist Board, IRIE FM, John Crow’s Tavern, the Island Sport Trust and is sanctioned by the Jamaica Cycling Federation
