Getting to Foul Bay from Bridgetown...and a beach stop afterwards

[ShedQueen77]

I'm ashamed to admit I don't remember the time frame it took to get us there. I guess I had other things on my mind! :D

 

My husband I were married on Foul Bay Beach two years ago. We are returning to Barbados next year for our third anniversary and want to make a return trip to where we got married. I know swimming is not an option on this beach, so we wanted to visit for a while and head to a beach to do some swimming and lounging.

 

Does anyone know the estimated distance/travel time from Bridgetown to Foul Bay and possibly have a recommendation for a beach we can stop at afterward? We wanted to do the turtle swim, but I don't think time will allow it after our Foul Bay trip.

 

Thank you in advance.

Foul Bay and Crane are much the same thing - 45 mins. to an hour

from the Port to those two locations..depending on traffic and who's driving.

 

 

And since you're down that side of the island,

you might contemplate either Miami Beach at Oistins

 

 

or Accra/Rockley... for beach after..

Thank you! I felt like such a dolt for not remembering how far Foul Bay was from the port! :D I remember looking at Accra when we were scoping out wedding locations. Are Miami and Accra pretty much comparable when it comes to amenities and such?

 

I can't tell you how much we love Barbados. The people we met along the way on our wedding day totally sold us on this beautiful island! :) We're hoping to retire there someday, if we're lucky.

Curious! Why do you say this?

Very strong undertows and rough surf. Swimming isn't recommended there unless you are a very strong swimmer, which in my family that leaves only me.
