Head to Side Shore Beach bar. Whatever you spend on sunbeds and umbrella they give you in credit to spend on food and drink. Lovely beach and some great waves. More

Lovely beach, easy access, plenty of places to eat and get drinks or snacks close by and stalls selling whatever you need. Just across the road from a small shopping mall and bus stop and taxis just behind the beach. Waves not too big, great fun for children of all ages and beach loungers and parasols available at reasonable daily... More

The sea at Rockley Beach is quite lively on occasions, so best to swim in front of the life guards station if you are not a confident swimmer or dislike waves knocking you off your feet or going over your head. I also swam off a beach on the west coast, but actually enjoyed swimming at Rockley more! More

Our family of four, including our children ages 7 and 8, spent 10 days on Barbados in April of 2012. Rockley Beach, also known as Accra Beach, was a highlight. The water was like a warm bathtub and the atmosphere was friendly and casual. The beach itself is wide and the sand is soft. You have to pay $5 USD... More

Rockley Beach, also known as Accra (because of the Accra Hotel) is one of the best in Barbados. It has a great location! It is on the Oistins to Speightsown and Bridgetown to Silver Sands bus route so it is easily accessible. It is opposite QuaySide Centre which has great food for lunch. Restaurants such as Just Grillin, Cafe Sol... More
