Visited a few times now, the most incredible beach with the most fantastic snorkelling, forget the organised trips and just swim out to see the turtles in their own environment, very little tide to think about and crystal clear water. We were lucky enough to see a Stingray out there too this year, amazing.

We booked the rum tour for when our cruise stopped in Barbados and it was amazing. Booking online was easy, the history of the distillery was very interesting and Rumal, our tour guide, was fantastic!

Enterprise Beach looks great in pictures, but it is also good for swimming.
Reviewed By Mancromthecoast - Liverpool, United Kingdom
In our opinion the best beach on the island, one that gives you options???? The calm side is great for a long warm bath where you can relax, swim and even talk with other bathers, many returnees amidst the throng of locals. We usually did it in 2-hours stints before towelling down- my partner has rheumatoid arthritis so this is also therapy time for her having been assisted in, as well as, out of the water. After the water it is time to chill on a chair or bench, soaking in the rays and reading a book. Hunger and thirst are sated via a walk into Oistins for a roti from Chefette, KFC, food from a street van or one of the Oistins cafes. Make the effort and take the plunge.

A tiny opening in between the cliffs, wow view! A great place for beautiful photos! Swimming here can be challenging because of the high wave and very tiny shore. Visit here early in the morning to have beautiful photos when no one is around. This place can be felt crowded with only 4/5 people as this is a very small beach.

A great experience of Oistins and far less busy due to Covid. Really tasty fresh fish, red snapper was delish and I recommend Friday here to get your catch of the day!
