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. Walk along the soft beach, swim in protected shallows or bring a boogie board to enjoy the gentle waves. There is a lifeguard on duty. As at all beaches, watch for the red flag indicating conditions have become dangerous.This beach is often rated as the best in Barbados, and one of the top beaches of the world. Honeymooners enjoy the peaceful and romantic setting of the Crane Resort, which has been situated on the top of the 50-foot (15-meter) cliff since 1887\. Sunrises here are phenomenal.If you’re not staying at the Crane, pay a fee (usable for resort purchases) to take the stairs or glass-fronted elevator to the top of the cliff to understand the resort’s appeal. You’ll immediately notice the many outdoor pools and Jacuzzi. Some of the individual rooms have private pools as well, many with infinity edges giving the perspective of being in an endless ocean.Enjoy the view of beach and ocean, walk through the gardens and admire the *Grand Jeté* statue of British ballet dancer David Wall, sculpted by Enzo Plazotta in 1981\. Be sure to have shirt and shoes to enjoy drinks on the verandah of Bar 1887\. Make a reservation to return in the evening dressed “elegantly” to enjoy sushi or Thai food at the restaurant.Interestingly, the beach gets its name not from a seabird, but from a crane used for loading and unloading boats when the area was used as a commercial harbor. The beach is 15 minutes from the airport and 30 from Bridgetown. Limited public beach parking is available on a one-lane alley. Public access requires a climb and hopping on rocks to get to the beach. ## Plan a trip to see Crane Beach Price found within the past 48 hours.

(192 reviews) We really enjoyed the location of the O2 resort. It is a beautiful ocean front view and very clean outside areas. The staff is very friendly, not going to go the extra mile but very friendly and do their job. I do recommend tips as the top staff will want to help out more. Housekeeping cleans but not great. Maybe like a 5/10 for housekeeping. They don’t restock all the towels or the free mini bar fridge very well. I would also recommend taking any valuables such as jewelry or cash everywhere with you. We did have $80 taken from our son’s wallet by housekeeping and our safe code was also oddly changed and we had to get maintence and we were missing $220\. Otherwise everything was good. Housekeeping would be our biggest issue. Our trip was still great and we loved the Island!

(36 reviews) The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional. Location is great if you want peace and quiet; it’s not near too many other resorts. There are clubs nearby, outdoor which allows you to enjoy the outdoor air and environment. You have to take a taxi to go from the resort to downtown or walk maybe quarter a mile to bus transportation, which was easy to use.
