3. Crane Beach

Crane beach is a stretch of powdery sand formed by pink coral that was pulverized and washed up over time. Although the area is on the east side of the island, which is normally full of thundering waves, Crane Beach has towering cliffs on each end of the beach and a coral reef in the ocean that provide protection from powerful Atlantic Ocean waves.

A beach with rows of blue umbrellas, a lifeguard tower, and palm trees.

4. Mullins Beach

Mullins Beach is one of the northernmost beaches on the west coast of Barbados. That means you’ll find clear blue water and generally calm seas. With its location far from the capital Bridgetown, Mullins can be less busy than other closer beaches.

A beach with clear turquoise water, sandy shore, palm trees, and a partly cloudy sky.

5. Rockley Beach

You’ll find that some Barbados beaches are known by multiple names, but taxi drivers will generally recognize all choices.
