Barclays Park

Barbados


The reason to come to this remote Atlantic facility Is more about the beach below than the park itself, which is really just a collection of picnic tables under some trees on a hillside. The action is across the road, where a wide stretch of golden sand runs towards the rolling green hills of Bathsheba. It's a great place for a walk in the wilderness.

The beach gets totally covered in seaweed during sargassum arrivals which can make hiking difficult.
