diving beach
When it comes to snorkeling in Barbados, the most recommended beach is Carlisle Bay, named after the second Lord Proprietor of Barbados. The “water park”, as it is known, has a great diversity of shipwrecks and an abundance of marine life to explore, offering one of the most spectacular experiences in the Caribbean. There you can swim with seahorses and frogfish, as well as moray eels and stingrays. In addition, many relics can be found at the bottom of the ocean in Carlisle Bay, such as ship anchors and cannonballs.
surfing beach
Bathsheba Beach is ideal for those with an adventurous spirit. The coastal area offers epic surfing opportunities and lush scenery. The beach has strong waves coming from the Atlantic, which foam against rocks that emerge from the water and visitors enjoy mesmerizing landscapes. Home to the famous Soup Bowl reef, this surfer's paradise promises a visit for breezy walks and great photo ops.
Beach with natural beauty
Crane Beach, originally a port, is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The cove receives numerous mentions of natural beauty in the main tourist guides, with its pink sand, sumptuous coconut trees, 80-foot cliffs and powerful waves. Considered one of the most pristine beaches in the region, it is a must-see in Barbados.
beach for families
Barbados Rockley Beach – or Accra Beach as it is known – is the benchmark when it comes to family beaches in Barbados. Small children can play safely in the calm waters at the southern end, while older children can boogie board on the more lively waves in the cove. Trees surround the beach and provide shady areas for families to snuggle, in addition there are also umbrellas and sunbeds available for rent. One of the main attractions is the possibility of finding crabs in the natural pools, at the end of a walk along the coast.
beach to isolate
Bottom Bay Beach Barbados is one of the most secluded beaches found in Barbados. Known as Bottom Bay, it contains little movement compared to other beaches, due to its location and its very unpredictable tide. Although it is not the best for swimming, the place is still charming for a romantic picnic or an afternoon sunbath. With a landscape made up of beautiful local vegetation, enchanting views and, with fresh coconuts in hand, it is possible to enjoy a beautiful late afternoon.
