Beach overall scores
Bottom Bay (Barbados) is located outside the Harrismith settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Barbados island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Bottom Bay with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This serene beach is absolutely splendid, offering a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The refreshing coconut cocktail vendors are a delightful touch, adding to the overall experience. However, it is worth noting that there is another beach in Barbados that unfortunately suffers from littering, with plastic bottles and cups scattered about."
Ruthie
"Although the beach wasn't spotless and the ocean waves were a bit turbulent, I couldn't help but envision the potential of this hidden treasure when the weather is more favorable. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, there was a certain charm to the beach that was undeniable. With a little bit of TLC and some calmer waters, this beach could truly shine."
