Best Barbados Beaches

Barbados is absolutely the right place for all lovers of beaches. The season here starts at January and continues to June. Temperatures range from 24 to 29C thoughout the year. Off the season it can rain, but its not serious - pours are slight and short. The Island of Barbados has a lot to offer. I can say for sure there is a perfect place for every taste. Landscapes vary a lot. The reason for that is Barbados is located between the Caribbean sea on the west and the Atlantic on the east.

Barbados Beaches on the North Coast. The presence of cliffs ranging from 50 to 100metres rising and falling along the coast, separated by many little beaches and bays make the area very interesting.  Here the Atlantic swells in the many little bays make up for the reduced presence of sands. The landscapes with rocky with spectacular cliffs are amazing. This area provides wonderful spots for picnics, magnificent views, most of them approachable by tracks. Some of the best beaches on this coast are:

Little Bay - This place is included in the island tours. The views hills provide you along with the breezes make yout visit here a wonderful experience. But if you go there you have to be prepared because the place can be a little tricky. It's definitely worth visiting.

Bottom Bay - The best is located near the famous Sam Lord's Castle. The golden sands, the cave, coconut palms, the crystal turquoise waters. The beauty of this place in breathtaking. The place is perfect for picnics, not so much for swimming. There are undertows, so be careful if you decide to swim anyway.

Cattlewash Beach - Here the coast-line is the longest of all on the island. This is a great place for sunbathing and relaxing, rather than swimming as there the waves are strong are the undertows too. The landscapes are very beautiful on this beach as there are many picturesque cliffs.

Bathsheba - This is probably the most popular and charming place in Barbados - with its amazing landscapes it can fascinate everybody. But that is far not all we can say. The small fishing village fills with crowds of people when the time for surf contests arrive. This beach is surfing spot on the island of Barbados. But....if you're not a surfer there are many pools and reefs which are ideal for snorkelling and sunbathing.
