Beaches In Barbados
As with most of the islands in the Caribbean, Barbados has some of the
most fantastic and awe inspiring beaches that you'll find anywhere in the
world. The beaches in Barbados really have to be seen to be believed.
There are more than 70 miles of glorious white sand that can be explored
easily on your trip. The beaches run down into the clearest blue seas that
contain reefs and some amazing marine life with brightly coloured fish and
untouched coral reefs.
Public Beaches
Apart from the privately owned patches of beach that the reosorts and
private residencies have, all of the beaches in Barbados are open to the
public. This means that you'll always be able to visit a beach no matter
which side of the island you are on. There are beaches on all the four
sides of the island but the warmest side is the west coast as this is the
side next to the Caribbean sea. These beaches are the most popular of the
whole island. This is because on the other sides of the island the seas
are a lot more hostile with huge waves and very strong currents, so
swimming isn't really recommended.
Scuba Diving In Barbados
A wide variety of watersports are available on the south and west beaches
in Barbados including para-sailing, jet skiing and scuba diving. All these
can usually be booked on the day so you won't have to pre-book any of
them. The friendly locals will offer you advice and will make sure you
stay safe when undertaking these activities. You'll find they are the most
laid back people you'll ever meet but they will do almost anything to make
sure your stay is enjoyable and a trip to remember. You can also visit any
time during the year as temperatures remain consistent the whole year through.
