Barbados Beach Question

[lexingtonave]

We have a stop in Barbados on our upcoming cruise. We have been to the Boatyard and are looking for another beach. I want calm water, chair and umbrella rentals available, a rest room and if possible a restaurant or snack bar. Any suggestions?

We love Accra/Rockley Beach! It's our favorite. The water is nice, there are restrooms and several places to eat. Plus, the view is gorgeous!

I agree? Accra is great. So many love the Boatyard, but that is just not for us! We like to go to the Tiki Bar at the far end of Accra. You pay $30 for two chairs and an umbrella, but they give you $60 in Barbadian money to use in their bar and restaurant. Good drinks and food. Always a great beach day.

Does anyone know anything about Carlisle bay at Harbour Lights in Barbados? It's one of the excursions listed for the Eclipse.

I believe Carlisle Bay is the same bay that has Boatyard Beach.

Hi Jane!

I too will be heading to Barbados next month. We have already decided , from reading your great reviews, to head to Accra..Question, taxi cost from ship? and is it easy to catch a cab back?

 

Thanks!!

They will fill up a van Before departing, so be prepared for that. They will drop most people off at the Boatyard and then you will go on to Accra. I think the cab fare is something like $7 pp. Most always, we've been able to arrange with our cab driver to come back for us. No problem.

 

Yes....Carlisle Bay IS the bay of the Boatyard. Where you are talking about is just down the beach a ways.

We love Paynes bay....the chair guys brought us drinks from a place I couldn't see...this bay is where the turtle excursions go.....there are usually a couple of small boats wanting to take people out to see them....not crowded and some of the priciest beach real estate in the caribbean....we liked it enough to do 2 land vacations there...

Have to agree with Jane,

Tiki Bar beach, worth a visit 👍🏻

Bar, food and restrooms, Chairs and Umbrellas plus showers to wash off all that beautiful powdery sand

 

Shuttled from pier to cruise terminal building, and then straight onto tour bus, 10 minute drive to Tiki Bar Beach, lovely soft sands and crystal clear waters for DD to do some snorkeling.

We each got drinks vouchers for the bar and enjoyed a lazy day drinking swimming and sunbathing. Well worth the $29 each.

 

A few to wet your appetite

We've always walked outside the port to catch a cab to Accra Beach and made arrangement for them to come back and pick us up. Every cab driver we've had has been ok with us paying him at the end of the day. But there are always cabs there too.

Thanks everyone for your input on Accra!! :):) Looks like we will be heading to the Tiki Bar!

This looks very nice...Is the name of the beach "Tiki Bar Beach" or "Accra?"

 

Thanks.

To be precise it is The Tiki Bar on Accra Beach

Tiki Bar Beach, just a name for an excursion

[dongordon]

Thank you.

Is this a ship excursion or private shore excursion?

If private, do you have the web site?
