If you could pick one beach on Barbados to visit for a day which one would it be?

Ah, you ARE on a cruise, aren't you? When we were in Barbados, we asked the taxi dispatcher for a small car and a personalized tour, rather than the vans they normally use. We asked our driver to take us on a tour of places both iconic and unique and some place local for lunch (we bought her lunch). We negotiated a price, I think $100. She took us to the east coast- Bathsheba- and we fell in love with that side. Also a couple of old churches and "the Strip" as we returned to the ship. Barbados is one of those places that is difficult to get to but worth getting to know...

I would have a taxi take you to the Hilton...walk along the beach to your left and you will be on the Boardwalk...take that to the end...Accra/Rockley Beach....beautiful..enjoy the beach....then go to the parking lot across the street from the beach and have a flying fish sandwich at Just Grillin.....that day made us stop cruising because we didn't want to leave Barbados and now we have gone back several times.

Wow, I didn't realize the boardwalk went that far. We will have to explore it in January. We also love Accra/Rockley beach.

Crane Beach is very picturesque, south-east side of island.


Paradise is an island in the Caribbean!

The Boardwalk doesn't go all the way to the Hilton...you will walk on beach for a little while and then pick up the Boardwalk.
