We just stayed for a few hours from a cruise. After doing some research we decided on Paynes. We sat on the beach, snorkeled then walked around. We were both very impressed with the location and beach.
Lovely beach, can get a bit overcrowded but less than the others. Just 10 meters from the shoreline we manged to swim with 2 turtles! Good visibility if you want to snorkel. You can also book snorkeling turtle viewing tours from locals for about $20 per person.Jetski can also be rented from here
A lovely beach, not too busy.One of the best west coast beaches.Could do with a couple more beach bars for drinks and food.
We went here with another couple from our ship. The cab was great and arranged someone to get chairs (for a charge of $20 for 2) in a shaded area and a pickup time to return to the cruise ship. There are people that will deliver buckets of beer or food too. The beach was very good and not too crowded.
Small and perfectly formed - gently sloping and we had a fabulous boat trip down the coast on a small catamaran - really quite thrilling!
The perfect beach on the west coast.Not heavily populated beautiful views and perfect sea tide and wide sands for family.We went with our 7mth baby and struggled along the west coast to find a calm and wide but shady beach. Paynes bay was IT. Good times.
lovely beach for walking/swimming. Easy to walk on when the sun is low in the morning. Enjoy after walking from Sandy Lane's beach from The Club, when tide is low.
A generally quieter beach than most which has the advantage of being on the Caribbean side of Barbados. It is safe to swim but need to be aware of jet skis and if snorkeling to see the turtles you need to avoid the catamarans that frequent the bay.
We were greeted by a very nice man who showed to some seats with umbrellas under Palm tree with blue sea we were looked after like gold he even got us a meal from his mum they live very use the beach the food wS first class and reasonably priced . They had a storm two weeks ago and this has brought a lot of coral and stone on the beachIf you go look out for the man with tattoo on his head very polite and helpfull
Probably even better than that at Sandy Lane.Such clear water, even after high tide ( which got pretty close to the beachside properties in mid January!)
