Browne's Beach

My new love is walking on the beach,

and not just any beach;

Browne’s Beach 

 

Browne’s beach is idyllic for several reasons and

beloved by many Barbadians.

It is a great place to work out, just look at the great expanse of water,

white sand, calmness, tranquilly, you be the judge!

It puts me in a good frame of mind for work. 

Whilst not new to hitting the pavement at 5 am, walking in my neighbourhood became tedious, not to mention the exhaust fumes and avoiding certain gates from barking dogs, stressful! So deciding to relocate to the beach was a no brainer. Week 4 and loving it.

 

The bay is often dotted with small boats and catamarans and

beneath the surface is the really interesting stuff ……

The bay is home to many shipwrecks which in turn are

home to tropical fish, frog fish, seahorses and more!

If you're a scuba diver be sure to visit Carlisle Bay.

 

Browne's Beach is situated within Carlisle Bay on the South

West Coast of Barbados. It is one of the largest beaches,

stretching from Bay Street,

Bridgetown to Needham Point. (Hilton Hotel).

 

The waters here are calm and ideal for swimming and sea bathing. 

This attracts many of our older population each morning. 

From about 5 am on several of our popular beaches can be found

mostly  retired persons, and a few exercise enthusiasts like me. 

Another group is the “returned nationals” this would be persons who

 emigrated to developed countries in the 50’s and 60’s and

returned to Barbados upon retirement. 

For this group it’s more of a social gathering.  

 

A lifeguard is on duty at the beach - not so early!

Without a doubt all the beaches in Barbados are fabulous but some of the favourites for early morning workouts would be Oistins, commonly known as Miami Beach, Dover, and Worthing on the south coast and perhaps Brandons, Batts Rock, and Mullins on the West Coast, there are many others.

 

 

 

The white sandy beach is the perfect place to catch the rays of the sun.

There is not much shade at the beach so be sure to bring your sunscreen.  

  

 

With a few nightclubs and drinking bars along the stretch

its probably fun filled in the evenings.  

 

I should mention that by law, all beaches in Barbados are open to the

public from the high-water mark down to the sea.

Not a one is off-limits to anyone.

 

 

Barbados beaches are a favorite getaway for celebrities the world over.

Celebrity or not, everyone who visits marvels at Barbados'

pink-white beaches, which are made of coral reefs that have

been ground into a very fine powder by the waves of the ocean. 

 

Take note!

 

Be sure to visit Browne’s Beach because it’s a lovely beach!
