Barbados Beaches 2013. Here is a video that I made over several day showing some of the
best beaches in Barbados. If you look at the map of Barbados beaches, you will find that
I covered most of them. The video starts off on the boardwalk near Accra beach and continues
to the last shot of foul bay. One of Barbados best beaches is one of the Barbados beaches
near Bridgetown called Brown's beach. It is very popular with the cruise ship crowd as
it is not far from the cruise terminal in Carlisle bay.
After going around Bridgetown the first beach I found was Brighton beach then off to Payne's
bay on the west coast. Sandy Lane beach is hard to get to because the resort uses a guard
station. Holetown beach was next followed by Mullins Bay beach which is associated with
the Royal Westmoreland resort is very slim and crowded with hardly any place to park.
Here is a link to the Mullins web cam.

Up the coast towards Lucy you will find the Speightstown beach and of course the beaches
of Port St. Charles. One of their beaches is very private while the other can be accessed
via the public access between the now closed Almond Beach Village (formally Heywoods) and
the resort. I had my honeymoon 28 years ago at Heywoods.
The south coast is by far my favorite place for beaches. The waves are bigger and well
more fun. The boardwalk takes you from the beach in front of Coconut Court and the luxury
Palm Beach condos all the way to Accra Beach. Accra Beach ( here is another of my videos
http://youtu.be/4tVS8jwEfl8 ), is my favorite where you will find me for 2 weeks every year
under the tree near the food and beverage huts. Also know as Rockley Beach, this spot
keeps the lifeguards very busy as the undertow can be impressive.
The next beach going south is the famous Sandy Beach where you will find Carib Beach Bar
beside Crystal Waters. You can go out pretty far there before the water reaches your waist.
Every Sunday there is a beach party with live music and plenty of people drinking a lot
The next beach I filmed was Dover Beach. Located in St Lawrence gap, this beach is very popular
with a great spot at the Southern Palms hotel. At this hotel is there with a great restaurant,
Colors where you can listen to steel pan music on Sunday's. Nice view of the beach from this
open air restaurant. Beside that is the all inclusive Barbados Beach Club. At the end
of the gap is Turtle Beach which you can access via Maxwell coast road. The Bougainvillea
resort is on the same beach and sandwiched in between is the luxury condo Ocean's One.
Public access is between Oceans and Turtle beach resort.
Off to Oistin's I went to visit the fish market there. There a beach there but I never see
people in the water. Further along Miami Beach just south of Oistins is a very popular beach
with the Little Arches Hotel and restaurant close by. I have personally seen the transformation
of this formerly know as Enterprise beach from a little used almost private place to
a bustling place with hardly a parking space to be found. 15 years ago we used to be able
to park under the trees. There has for the longest time a food truck there Mr Delicious
that serves everything from fish cakes to rum punch and fish cutters. The truck is still
there however there is no more parking under the trees. Great beach!
Bathsheba was my next stop. Located on the rocky and breezy east coast this is a very
popular stop for tour buses. The views are spectacular as you wind your way down from
narrow mountain roads. The eroded rocks being pounded by the waves stand like statues in
the surf. From there we headed to Bath Beach and Martins bay. You will see in the video
some great footage. Crane beach is a little bit of a challenge to get to. You either have
to pay to get into the Crane resort ( which is redeemable for lunch) or risk it parking
down a very very narrow lane and walking over 50 feet of rock to get to the beach. Thank
goodness that someone has built and created concrete walking pads over the coral rocks.

The last beach we went to was Foul Bay which is located next to Crane Beach. No swimmers
there as you can see at the end of the video.
That is my review of Barbados Beaches. See you next year.
