How does Brownes Beach compare to other Carlisle Bay Beaches?

[Kenato]

Looking at all the named beaches in Carlisle Bay and Brownes beach looked as if may be far enough  from Cruise terminal to not be too busy. Can anyone please provide any information on Brownes Beach or a better, non crowded one they reccommend.

Carlisle Bay has one big, gorgeous  beach.  Different sections of it may be called different names but it's one beach.  Walk there from the dock and pick a spot for yourself.  It's my fav place in the Caribbean.

We have been to Brownes beach many times.  It is our choice on Carlisle Bay.  It is a local beach.  There are chair rentals.  We have walked there from the ship a few times.  But now prefer a taxi (bad knees).  Take the taxi from the port with others going to the more populated beach bars like the Boatyard.  Tell the driver you want to go to Brownes and he will take you there once the others get off.  You can get a taxi back.  There is a restroom with attendants.  The attendants will call for a cab when you want to go back to the ship.

Yeaahh... Carlisle Bay is one big sweeping arc of a beach

with a few different names, per section: much of a muchness, really!

 

The farthest-away (from the dock), and nearing the Hilton Hotel

is called Pebbles Beach -see picture below.

so called because there was once a beachside restaurant there

by that name...back in the 1960s (most locals have NO idea why! lol)

Thanks for the info on Pebbles Beach. Could not really pin point where it was in relation to Brownes.  Now I know.  Do you know how far it is away from Brownes and if they rent chairs, rest rooms, etc.  at Pebbles.

Pebbles is on one side of that jetty sticking-out..
and Yacht Club beach and Browne's Beach are on the other side

(closer to Bridgetown and the Port).
 

Yes, I see chair and umbrella rentals at Pebbles, regularly
and there is an NCC Hut there with showers and toilets.
NCC = National Conservation Commission.

 

Hope this helps?

Thanks for the info.  Another question.  How far is Brownes to Pebbles if you walk it on the beach?

It's not far BUT...

you have to get around that jetty that sticks out.

If it's a low tide, it might be do-able, but at Hi Tide, maybe not!

If it weren't for the jetty, it's about 200-300 yds.?

Thanks again.  Just love Barbados.

Does Brownes have a restaurant?
