sunseeker09 Posted August 16, 2009 #153 Share Posted August 16, 2009 As always, you have posted some incredible pictures. These last two are just stunning! They make me very anxious to go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.C05 Posted August 19, 2009 #154 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Wow, again Aplmac, you're pictures are fabulous! I will seriously have to take a vacation to Barbados only, so I can experience the beauty of it that is in all these pictures!!! Simply beautiful! Whenever that is, I hope to possibly meet you and your wife! I didn't forget my good camera, my husband did! ;) He has a Cannon Rebel something. He loves getting good pictures but with the case and all the lenses, he doesn't want to get it messed up or stolen. PS: How often do you go to other islands? Do you cruise to them or is it a simple boat/ferry ride?......Nevermind, I just read your "Most memorable Dominica pictures" and learned a little more about you.

If I had to walk with just one lens on my camera it would be the Sigma super-wide zoom 10-20 mm. range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted September 12, 2009 Author #164 Share Posted September 12, 2009 It's just North of Paynes Bay, like da sign says :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel To Be Free Posted September 14, 2009 #165 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You are truly sarcastic -- I thought perhaps it was Sandy Lane??? Sorry to have disturbed you with my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted September 15, 2009 Author #166 Share Posted September 15, 2009 -- I thought perhaps it was Sandy Lane??? ===> I woulda said so? It's on the Sandy Lane/North side of Paynes Bay.About a quarter mile further North(difficult going thru trees) you'll get to Sandy Lane. Although Sandy Lane Bay is nice alright it's pretty much about the same as any of several West Coast bays so don't knock yourself out for it. If/when you get there, you'll discover the prices are horrific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel To Be Free Posted September 15, 2009 #167 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks for the info!! You are always so helpful. Guess I should have indicated Sandy Lane. :p We're going to do the turtles at Payne Bay and then have been searching for a beach on the west/south coast that has a lot of palms and chair rentals. Needham's Point looks nice, but as it is Hilton's beachfront -- do they frown upon people using it? (We could always eat lunch at their restaurant...) Have also looked at Mullins/Gibbes on the West, as well as Worthing on the South. Do you know if any have a lot of palms--a more pretty beachfront than the actual water?

Needham's Point looks nice, but as it is Hilton's beachfront -- do they frown upon people using it? (We could always eat lunch at their restaurant...) ===> Hilton offers a day-pass Have also looked at Mullins/Gibbes on the West, as well as Worthing on the South. Since you're already a ways up the West Coast at Paynes Bayit may make sense to continue North to Mullins/Gibbes rather than crossing suburbia/Bridetown -it's just simpler and about ten mins. away from Paynes Bay. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel To Be Free Posted September 16, 2009 #169 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks for the picture!! Is this part considered Mullins or Gibbes? Which has more palms?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted September 16, 2009 Author #170 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks for the picture!! Is this part considered Mullins or Gibbes? Which has more palms?? This picture shows Mullins.Gibbes is around the distant point, in the picture. ........................................ What is it with the palms? :confused: Are you chasing an advertising dream-image? You may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Methinks you're not going to find that Dream Setting unless you make it out to Bottom Bay and that's not easily do-able for cruisers with just a few hrs. ashore. Most of our beaches have a few coconut palms scattered here and there but that's about it. Photographers can make it look like there's a lot but... Another thing: don't sit under them unless you look up first, to check out the load they're carrying -or not! People have been hit by falling nuts, and hurt badly! Be warned! .

Yes, you can get a taxi from the Port to Rockley Beach It's about 3?miles / 15-20 mins. away from the Port depending on the traffic du jour. ;) .

waterbugohio Posted September 16, 2009 #175 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Aplmac, I also have a few questions for you. We will be in Barbados for the second time in November. The first time we did Silvermoon catamaran tour which was fantastic. However, we didn't actually get to see "the island" as we were on water all day. So, is there a map somewhere?? Can you give me any kind of general idea of the size of the island. Where and how far is doable in one day. We would like to visit a beach, probably Accra after seeing these photos, but don't want to spend a whole lot of time there. Would also like to visit some of the churches. We are from a strong catholic background, so we always love stopping at churches. Can you give me an idea of the island/ thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
