Brighton Beach

[barante]

We were on the Noordam when we came to Bridgetown. On a previous visit we had done the Boatyard, which was nice. I went to the tourism desk in the terminal and asked for their recommendation. Go to Brighton Beach, the lady said.

Brighton Beach was a free beach just a $3 per pax cab ride away. You can actually see the ships in the distance.

The beach was almost totally deserted. It was quite shallow and had a coral bottom, which was fine because we always wear swim shoes. A restaurant at the beach rents lounge chairs ($5).

We had a nice time at Brighton Beach. I got terribly sunburnt . . .

barante...technically ALL beaches in Barbados are free so if you just want to use the beach you will/should not be charged. What some beachfront properties charge for are use of their facilities/amenities etc.

 

Having said that..yes Brighton beach is a nice beach and you could have actually walked there from the ship(about 10 minutes).

 

I am glad you enjoyed your visit.
