Crane Beach, Barbados
Crane Beach isn’t for everyone. The soft, white sand coupled with strong tropical winds may be tempting. But much of it is dominated by moderately strong waves suited for experienced swimmers and body surfers. Its huge waves, heavy breeze, and palm-fringed coastline embody what a Barbados beach should be like.
Don’t be so worried if you’re a weak swimmer or if you plan on taking kids with you to the beach. There is a protected cove further along the coast. The cove softens the currents and makes the waters apt for light swimming. For body surfers, you can rent boogie boards here. The waters are safe for surfing because motorized water sports are not permitted. Crane Beach is also an ideal spot for sunset gazing.
Sadly, there are no restaurants on the beach. You will have to bring your own snacks, host a picnic, or eat from the terrace of The Crane Hotel. While the hotel offers a stunning view, you will have to splurge for the food and ambiance.
Accessibility is not a problem at all. It is a public beach that’s just a 6-minute drive from the airport and 30 minutes away from Bridgetown. Entry fees apply to non-residents, although you can get free access through the far end of the beach.
