| Stroll The Beaches Of Barbados!
.....We have listed them by Parish..... 
There are no private beaches in Barbados. All can be accessed by anyone. White, coral, pink? Pick a colour. You will find soft sandy beaches along the diverse coasts of Barbados. Barbados is between the Caribbean Sea, which is the calm side and the Atlantic Ocean. The raging Atlantic is on the east side. On The Caribbean side, head for Carlisle Bay, Gibbs Beach and Mullins Bay in the Parish of St. Peter as well as Paynes Bay, Batt's Rock or Folkestone Park. Many resorts, hotels and villas are found on the Caribbean side, near or on white sandy beaches, ideal for water sports. The East Coast or Atlantic side is rugged with rock formations, but also has nice beaches for sunbathers, swimmers and surfers. The parishes of the Caribbean coast, from south to north are, Christ Church, St. Michael, St. James and St. Peter. The parishes from north to south, on the Atlantic coast are St. Lucy, St. Andrew, St. Joseph, St. John and St. Philip.
