Bottom Bay
If you like it a little more colorful, Bottom Bay is the right place for you. The beach is usually well visited. Here, vendors offer refreshments such as cool coconut water or coconuts. The beach owes its charm to the beautiful palm clusters and the long stone staircase that leads to the beach, among other things.

Despite its unusual name, Enterprise Beach is a recommended beach in Barbados. 230 meters of fine, white sand invite you to relax and jog. It is also known as Miami Beach and is very close to the fishing village of Oistins. Beautiful sunsets can be enjoyed on Enterprise Beach. Good swimmers can venture into the open sea on this beach. However, the beach is also ideal for families with children, as there is a sheltered area in the water where the little ones can splash and swim safely.
