3. Crane Beach

Crane beach is a stretch of powdery sand formed by pink coral that was pulverized and washed up over time.

4. Rockley Beach

You’ll find that some Barbados beaches are known by multiple names, but taxi drivers will generally recognize all choices. Ask for Accra or Rockley Beach to visit this very pleasant south coast beach where the water is crystal clear and the sand is soft, easy to walk on without worrying about sharp coral pieces.
