jonmar Posted November 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2008 We are in Barbados in December and are torn between going to Lobster Alive or Accra Rockley Beach. We have a 3 year old. Which beach is most likely to have good surf for the kiddo to swim? Which has he nicer, sandier, cleaner beach? Does Accra have anywhere on the beach that you can get a beer, water, food etc? Thanks a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlisle Bay will be calmer whereas Accra is a bit rougher, sometimes with surf(depends on the day!). Accra has by far the better amenities, shade trees, umbrellas, drinks and snack stalls nearby - even colorful tropical clothing stalls nearby. Kiddo will enjoy Accra,even though you'll have to watch him/her but then you have to watch kids when they're around water anywhere even if it's like a millpond! Accra is developed,popular and happening -- Carlisle Bay is less so but does have places like Lobster Alive and Boatyard nearby for showers,drinks,etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind hearing it, but I don't want to have to yell to have a conversation either. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted November 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2008 If we went to Lobster Alive, is it far enough from the Boatyard to not be bothered by loud music? ===> Yes it is I don't mind hearing it, but I don't want to have to yell to have a conversation either. ===> My sentiments exactly!! Boatyard is also downwind of Lobster Alive, so you'll hear it in the background only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imjoyful2 Posted November 27, 2008 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Beautiful pictures! We were in Barbados 10yrs ago for our honeymoon and are returning on our upcoming cruise. Can we get to Accra by bus?? It's myself, DH and our 4 kiddos....I'm so undecided what we want to do while here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
