Drill Hall Beach

Drill Hall Beach The Drill Hall Beach is a popular surfing spot and a favourite with locals for picnicking.

The waters here are choppy with a rocky bottom, medium waves and some undertow.

Although the sea conditions aren’t great for swimming, there is a shallow reef close to shore to explore.

Drill Hall beach has a wide expanse of beach-land with lots of trees for shade, and fronts The Savannah Hotel, as well as St Ann's Fort the home of the Barbados Defense Force Headquarters (BDF)

This is yet another beach situated in the Needham's Point area and the Garrison Historic area, featuring the Graves End Military Cemetery and Charles Fort to the northwest of the beach. There are actually quite a few military attractions located inland in the surrounding area.

Drill Hall Beach can be found on the Caribbean side of the island, on the South Coast of Barbados in the parish of St Michael.
