ROCKLEY/ACCRA BEACH

Rockley/Accra Beach is one of the longest and loveliest stretches of beach on the south coast, it is particularly popular with the young local Bajans and visitors alike. After the drive through the busy built up residential area from Bridgetown through Hastings, Rockley Beach is an oasis of natural beauty. The beach was purchased by the Government in the 70's and extensive work has been carried out by the Parks and Beaches Commission. They provide a life-saving service to cater for visitors to this popular beach resort, because despite the waters being calm, with moderate waves only, there is a little undertow, and this service is greatly appreciated. The Beach is great for body surfing and body watching alike!

There are also numerous local vendors who have set up their crafts and trade along the beach. Here you can purchase anything from a tie-dye wrap around skirt, to leather goods or beads made from shells. There is parking on the beach and for your convenience a variety of food and drink venues close at hand, it is little wonder that Rockley is very popular.
With great golfing and tennis facilities Rockley is a great place for that sporting holiday you have always promised your self!

Windsurfing ib Barbados on the south coast

The sea has medium waves, but a strong undertow, with excellent conditions for windsurfing, particularly intermediate and advanced.

LONG BEACH
>

After Chancery Lane south of the airport the cliff-bound coastline extends for about five kilometers. There are numerous attractive little rocky coves that extend from the northern corner of Long Bay.
Long Beach stretches for more than a mile from Inch Marlow Point to the cliffs at Paragon. A great discovery because it is seldom visited, either by locals or visitors. This desolate spot has a very private setting, it is surrounded by 'rab' land and jagged cliffs. The nearby Long Beach Club has some facilities, otherwise, the beach has only solitude to offer!
It is however debatable how long this will remain so, as plans are afoot for houses, shops and recreational facilities.
