Stayed at the Crane and loved such easy access to one of the best beaches in the world, Great place for families to enjoy waves in shallower water, as well as bigger waves a bit further out for body surfing and bobbing

We stopped by Foul Bay while visiting the island on a cruise. We rented a car and checked out 8 different beaches on the island. Foul Bay was one of our favorites! We prefer to spend time at secluded beaches with beautiful views and Foul Bay was perfect for us. We only saw a few other people while we were at this beach. We were able to find a nice shaded area to set up our travel hammock. We visited during surf season so the waves in the area were a little too rough for us. We briefly went in the water but decided to stay on the beach after being wiped out a few times. The waves literally pull the sand out of from under out feet. We didn't mind not being able to swim because the area was so beautiful and was not full of businesses or vendors. The beach was very long and you could spend a good amount of time walking up and down the beach. There were not any facilities at this beach when we visited. If you are planning a beach day in Barbados and interested in video footage of Foul Bay and other beaches on the island, check out the Barbados video on our YouTube Channel Explorcation.

This one of Barbados' hidden treasures. On the south eastern tip of the island ,nestled under the bluffs facing the bracing atlanric breezes Bottom Bay is ideal for nature lovers ,lovers in general or those who want to get away from the cruise ship crowds. Its beauty is breathtaking and no , the pictures do not do it justice. You can get there by public transportation Bds.$3.50 is all you pay on the #10 Bayfield bus minibus both running from main terminals in the capital Bridgetown.The drive is about 45 mins and travels along Highway 5 through the Parishes of St.Michael and St.Philip. You will know you are near when you begin to see the ocean on the horizon to you right.Drivers and passengers are very friendly and everyone knows Bottom Bay they will even tell you how to get the bus back. From the bus stop you just walk down the hill through a quiet little hamlet and the road ends on the cliff above the beach.If you are driving its easiest to Use Google Maps to get the best directions from your location It is safe to park your car in the open space but dont be silly and leave valuables exposed.There will be a couple locals selling coconut water conch shells and some local craft ,they also will make sure you are safe.Limited chairs and umbrellas are available on the beach for rent but there is enough shade and open area for you to just do it old school and spread out your towel on the sand. Go on get out there away from the madding crowds and explore Bottom Bay!!!

If you or your children love animals, then this is the ideal spot. Off the beaten track in St. Phillip. Call ahead to make appointment. Small fee of $5.00 Barbados dollar for children and $10 Barbados for adults. Also donations welcomed. Lots to see from snakes to centipedes. Lots of local plants to see. You can touch, ask questions and be entertained by the talking parrot.
