Bottom Bay
A small bay on the southeast coast ringed by coral-stone cliffs, with palms, white sand and turquoise water. It is a postcard-perfect spot for photos.
Bottom Bay lies in St. Philip parish, enclosed on three sides by coral-stone cliffs. Palm trees lean over the sand, the water is turquoise, and the bay often appears in Barbados promotional photos. Steps along the cliff edge lead down to the beach, which is quiet and uncrowded, good for photography and picnics. However, the Atlantic side has big waves and strong currents, so swim with care; the beach has no lifeguards or facilities. In winter, humpback whales are sometimes visible from the cliffs. It is about a 10-minute drive from Crane Beach and can be visited together with it.
