Brandons Beach

Brandons Beach is a hidden gem that is only a 20-minute walk or a short cab ride from the port where cruise ships dock. Visitors are greeted by clear waters, tiny waves, and smooth sands, and chairs, loungers, and umbrellas can be rented at moderate rates. Rascal's restaurant, located at the back of the beach, has a nice menu. The beach is well-protected by tiny trees and is rarely crowded. For a long way out, the water is shallow and perfect for swimmers of all abilities. The beach is particularly well-known for its snorkeling opportunities, with a large area of coral and a plethora of colorful fish just offshore.

Brandons Beach has eye-catching caramel-colored sand as well as plenty of foliage and beach vegetation. While it is not on any regular bus route, it is a fifteen-minute walk from the heart of lively Bridgetown, Barbados' main city. Crossing over to the beach, Rascals Beach Bar and Restaurant – open every day for lunch and dinner – serves local cuisine, tropical cocktails, and ice cream directly on the sand while overlooking the ocean.
