Best Barbados Beaches



The best Barbados beaches are to be found on the south and west coasts of the island and these in my opinion are the best and most beautiful beaches in Barbados for real beach lovers.

Some of the most spectacular beaches are on the Atlantic or east coast side being especially popular with surfers and those that like big crashing waves constantly rolling in.

And best of all no matter where the beach is you're able to get to it.

By law all Barbados beaches are public, no matter if the beach is in front of the swankiest hotel or the most opulent multi million dollar villa.

On this little island of about 166 square miles there are more than 70 miles of golden beaches.


And if you're planning a vacation in Barbados there are some great private Barbados vacation rentals to choose from.

The West Coast of Barbados is known for some of the best Barbados beaches and the calmness of the Caribbean Sea lapping at the uncrowded shore.

miami beach south coast barbados Some of the most popular and best Barbados beaches are to be found on the South Coast. Two of the best are Miami Beach and Accra Beach they are quite wide with gorgeous fine white sand. They are active beaches and can be quite heavily populated with beach lovers during the tourist season.

For water activities the south coast is ideal, the waves are small to medium making for great wind and kite surfing conditions and there are some really good dive sites along this coast also.

The south coast of Barbados has some tremendous fine white sand beaches for the beach lovers and the colours of the Caribbean Sea on this coast are truly magnificent. One of the best Barbados beaches and also one of my favourites is Brownes Beach.

harrisons cave east coast barbados On the way you might take note of where some of the most interesting sights to be seen on Barbados are located such as, Harrisons Cave, Farley Hill, Wellchman Hall Gully, Gun Hill Signal Station and many more that you will pass on your trip to the North and East Coasts of Barbados.


tent bay east coast barbados On the East Coast you can stroll for miles on fantastic wide beaches of fine white sand without meeting a soul until you reach a little fishing village like Tent Bay or Cattlewash or the more well known Bathsheba and the "soup bowl" an area known far and wide for its terrific waves and surfing.

If you're looking for a beach to go to on the north coast of Barbados you'll be disappointed because it has little to offer the real beach lover.


But what it lacks in beaches it makes up for in spectacular scenery the dramatic cliffs with the Atlantic Ocean crashing below provide excellent opportunities for taking some amazing pictures.

The few Beaches on the north coast are mostly composed of very coarse sand and are difficult to get to and the rough seas make any type of water activity not advisable.
