Where is Boatyard?

[explorer2000]

I have found that the Boatyard is only a short drive from the pier, but can not seem to locate it on any map.

 

Perhaps it is a different name? Could anyone please help me? Is it a "west" beach, or a "south" beach?

If you use Google Earth it is just south east of the waterway that goes through Bridgetown. You will see a pier and thats the boatyard pier.

never mind -- I found it finally, just had to ask the question first, I guess. FYI -- It is located at Carlisle Bay.

Right where it's always been for at least the last 20 yrs. :D

Our first time to the Boatyard area, we actually walked to the beach from the ship. It isn't really all that far. We walked down the boardwalk area, then through town, then to the beach. Walked the beach most of the day, back and forth, then walked back to the ship. Very nice relaxing day! :D

If you're the walking type, what you describe is quite possible!

 

Check it out on Google Earth and you'll see that Carlisle Bay isn't that far from the Port.

 

For older,perhaps less-active folks, a lot depends on how hot and humid it is That Day

and it may be simpler to just take a taxi.

Does the beach have amenities such as chairs, food etc?

 

Thanks

Quite agree that it can be done but when advising people in general you have to assume that some can't do it...or they try it at night.

At beach hangouts like Lobster Alive and Boatyard

yes there are chairs and umbrellas available -but rental arrangements vary.

 

There are a few other hangouts along this long beach, some more "native" than others,I'm told

where you can get food and drink and maybe some shade too.

 

Although Carlisle Bay is one of our biggest beaches, it's a recent beach

and as such it's relatively undeveloped, commercially -for now.
