Hello everybody!
Here is an interesting selection of Mark and Milena's favourite beaches: it's very important for us that you will not leave the island without having seen them! Why?
So you will fall in love with Barbados even more!

1) MIAMI BEACH
miami beachor Enterprise Beach: a beautiful beach, on the south-west coast, where the sand is white and the sea is calm with breathtaking colours. It has a big parking area, a pic-nic area with a lot of trees and plenty shade, a life guard service and showers. Many locals come to this beach, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. On the west side of the beach, there is a lovely little bay where the sea is always calm and not deep. We recommend a refreshing stop by "Mr Delicious", where you can try local delicatessen like fish cakes, rotis, sugar cakes and local drinks like mauby and coconut punch.

2) SANDY BEACH
sandy beacha wonderful long and wide beach, on the south-west coast, where the sand is white and the sea is very calm and crystal clear. Life guard service and parking area. There are often organized beach-volley-ball games. It's worth paying a visit to the "Carib Beach Bar", where they serve many snacks, like fantastic fried calamari, and drinks.

3) CARSLILE BAY
carlile baya wonderful bay, located south of Bridgetown, with a long and white beach. The sea is calm and very beautiful. It's very interesting to snorkel over a small wreck, easily reachable swimming from the beach; the wreck lays at the bottom of the sea where the water is not too deep and it created a sort of artificial reef with many tropical fish. It's easy to recognize the exact location of the wreck because you will sea a circle of white buoys on the surface of the water that delimits the area.

4) FOUL BAY
foul baya beautiful white sandy beach, on the south-east coast, never crowded during the week, more frequented by local people during week ends. The sea here is not calm, but the beauty of the beach will make you forget about it. If you decide to take a swim, please be careful. There is a big pic-nic area with a lot of trees and a car park. On this beach there are no snack bars, so it's better to carry at least some water to drink.

5) CRANE BEACH
crane beachthis beautiful and popular beach, on the south-east coast, has been chosen also from prince Andrew to build his vacation villa. The sand here is white, but the sea is quite rough. There are two sides of the beach: the northern one, less crowded, and the southern one, below the namesake hotel, where it's easyer to take a seabath. It's interesting to take a walk to the northern end of this long beach, where there is the "bat's cave": a very short and dark path goes through it and takes you to the beach beyond the rocks. We also like to suggest a pinacolada by the Crane Beach Hotel's bar, around 5:30 pm, when the beach turns into a pinkish colour. The hotel is located on a cliff above the beach from where you can enjoy a breathtaking view; to enter the hotel propriety you will have to pay a small fee that will be deducted from your bar's bill, a little pricy but surely worthy.

6) HARRISMITH
harrismithon the south-east coast, it has a beautiful scenery, with its white sand, very high palm trees and brilliant colors. The sea is rough and the beach is never crowded. On the cliff over the beach there is a old abandoned plantation house, where you can park your car. There are no bars close by.

 

 

7) BOTTOM BAY
bottom bayon the south-east coast, it is maybe the most loved beach among the visitors of Barbados, with white sand, century-old palm trees and brilliant colors. It's a less wild version of Harrismith, where it's easy to meet rastas who would climb one of those high palms to pick a coconut for you or who would discuss with you about philosophical topics. The sea is quite rough, but the scenery of this wonderful bay will surely satisfy you. There are no bars close by.
