Gorgeous views then a very short (somewhat steep) trail down to the beach. Swimming only for a very strong swimmer but great beach walk and gorgeous views. White sand, Palms leaning over the beach...lovely. Go to nearby Cutters Deli after for lunch and the best rum punch ever...really! More

Park at the top of bottom bay and descend quite a few steps down. The bay is small but stunning, with rocky cliffs and a very rough wild sea. Not for swimming as dangerous, but great for bobbing around and body surfing. Good picnic venue. More

Perfect for a swimsuit photo shoot.  Surf too rough for swimming, and no services but stunning white sand.  I have amazing photos! More

Although swimming isn't recommended at this beach it is definitely worth the drive to see this 'postcard beautiful' beach on the southeast coast of the island. Absolutely stunning! More

Located on the east coast of Barbados where the Atlantic Ocean crashes against the shoreline is Bottom Bay, one of the most picturesque spots not just in Barbados or the Caribbean but the world. Sugar-white sandy beach, tall and elegant palms, and azure water make this a photographer's paradise. More
