Paradise Beach

Paradise Beach At the lovely placid Paradise Beach in Barbados there is virtually no undertow, with calm clear waters most of the year, allowing for comfortable swimming and snorkelling. It is also excellent for sunset photos. 

This area was the beachfront to the old Paradise Hotel which has been closed for several years, and has since been demolished to build the Four Seasons Hotel & Resort in Barbados

There are reefs close to shore so watch out for sea urchins in some areas.

Other west coast Beaches nearby
Close by to the south, is a very tiny bay called “Freshwater Bay” which is separated by rocks and boulders, but is still accessible by a walkway. At certain times during the year the boulders are covered by sand and access can be done via the shore. 

Further south is a small fishing village at ‘Piles Bay’, which is also separated by boulders, but accessible, next to it is Brighton beach. Each of these beaches
can be reached by walking from Paradise beach

To the north is a small stand of woods that separates Paradise Beach from Batts Rock beach which is also located just north and can be reached from here.
