Bridgetown, Barbados

Barbados Beach Break

While Away the Hours Beachside Relax along the turquoise waters of Carlisle Bay for a few tranquil hours. This crescent-shaped bay and natural harbor, named for the Earl of Carlisle during the 1600s, was once teeming with British merchant ships. Today, pleasure boats and yachts dot the waters, creating a picturesque Caribbean scene. Begin your journey to the beach with a brief drive through Bridgetown, passing several of its most famous landmarks. Upon arriving at Carlisle Bay, which boasts one of the longest and widest beaches on Barbados, enjoy a complimentary drink and an orientation to the facilities. Then settle in to your reserved beach chair (umbrella included) with a mini-prosecco to soak up the sun, or spend your time swimming. The calm and shallow waters of the bay make for a pleasant idyll, and there will be light snacks and additional drinks available for purchase. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
