Any suggestions for a nice beach in Barbados. Will Boatyard be too crowded. Is Boatyard part of Carlisle Bay? Looking for something not too far from port.

Any suggestions for a nice beach in Barbados.

Will Boatyard be too crowded. ===> Kinda likely..yes.

Is Boatyard part of Carlisle Bay? ===> Yes.

Looking for something not too far from port.

 

Hilton's at one end of Carlisle Bay: they do a day-pass thing

but you need to ring ahead to see if they can take you.

Their number is 426-0200

 

Lobster Alive is right next door to Boatyard - on Carlisle Bay

and if you like the idea of a lobster or other seafood lunch

then this is definitely The Place.

 

Going the other way, you might take a taxi to Malibu Beach Bar

or to Weisers, both on Brighton/Brandons Beach.

Reason I suggest a cab,despite the short distance

is that the route from the Port to Brighton Beach is deceptively disorienting

and it's a walk thru ugly docklands type architecture.

We were at Boatyard a couple years ago and just loved it. We'll definitely go again in Jan. 09 when we are there. It's a very short taxi ride from the ship. Admission is minimal, maybe $10-15 per person, which includes a coupon for a drink of some food. There are loads of water toys included in the price, huge water trampoline, rock climbing wall in the water, kayaks, rope to jump from the pier, etc. We got there very early so got chairs right up close to the water and an umbrella. We were near the outside bar/restaurant. If you go, you won't be disappointed.
