Best beaches in Barbados

Barbados sits where the Atlantic Ocean & the Caribbean Ocean come together!
There are some awesome beaches & they are all accessible to everyone, none are private!
So grab your towels & feel the sand between your toes!

Shark Hole Beach & Bay:-

A unique little ‘secret’ beach hidden on the South East Coast of Barbados.
Located around a 40 minute drive from WEST ROCK VILLAS
Don’t worry - no sharks!
A marvellous little bay dug out of the coral cliffs with an intimate protected beach, perfect for a couple!
An adventure to find, may need to use a Maps App, although even then may need to ask directions  which is always fun!
It is popular at weekends, & gets crowded with just a few people, often deserted weekdays early mornings.
Don’t swim out of the reef due to dangerous tides!

Come to the Beach
Where the Sea is blue
And little white waves
Come running at You

A wave comes splashing
Over your toes
You just stand still
And away it goes

We’ll build a castle
Down by the sea
And look for shells
If you'll come with me
