Stroll The Beaches Of Barbados!
.....We have listed them by Parish..... 
There are no private beaches in Barbados. All can be
accessed by anyone. White,
coral, pink? Pick a colour. You will find soft sandy
beaches along the diverse coasts of Barbados.
Barbados is between the Caribbean Sea, which is the
calm side and the Atlantic Ocean. The raging
Atlantic is on the east side.
On The Caribbean side, head for Carlisle Bay and
Batt's Rock in St. Michael, Gibbs or Gibbes Beach
and Mullins Bay in the Parish of St. Peter, Crane's
Beach in St. Philip, and Paynes Bay and Holetown in
St. James. Many resorts, hotels and villas are
found on the Caribbean side, near or on white sandy
beaches, ideal for water sports. The East Coast or
Atlantic side is rugged with rock formations, but
also has nice beaches for sunbathers, swimmers
and surfers. The parishes of
the Caribbean coast, from south to north, an the
west side, are, Christ Church, St. Michael, St.
James and St. Peter.
The parishes from north to south, on the Atlantic
coast or east side are St. Lucy, St. Andrew, St.
Joseph, St. John and St. Philip. 
..... Starting at the south end of Barbados and
heading north, along the [calm] west coast,
