espmass Posted January 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Last time I was in Barbados we spent a day at a lovely beach. I believe it was Payne Beach but I'm not positive. The beach was beautiful and the sand was soft with no rocks. However, when we went into the water the bottom was totally covered with smooth rocks making it extremely difficult to walk or even to stand still. Are all the beaches in Barbados like that or are some smooth even when you go into the water? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadie8 Posted January 6, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2011 We spent the day on Carlisle Bay (Harbor Lights) there are no rocks anywhere (water or land). The sand was white, clean, and very fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted January 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Something tells me you had unusual conditions perhaps due to a North Swell that may have transported sand that normally 'lives' there -away from there! What you describe is NOT normal for most Barbados swimming beaches. ;) I'm willing to bet too that within a week, the sand would have been replaced, and covered those rocks -until the next North Swell! Unfortunately for everyone concerned, North Swell season is the same Oct. - March season as Cruise Season in the Caribbean. Bummer! Nothing we can do about it. Tried calling God about it, but he thought we were outa place and hung up the phone on us. Can you imagine? :eek: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
