Silver Sands beach is located on the south coast of the island, in the parish of Christ Church. The beach is lovely, but sea can be quite rough for swimming. Watch out for under currents, especially when getting in and out! Also note there is NO lifeguard on duty here.
Things to Do
The hotel is right on the beach with a bar and restaurant. There are no beach chairs to rent either.
Silver Sands is another big hit with experienced wind and kite surfers. T Club Mistral have a shop on this beach, where they offer windsurfing and kite surfing lessons, a half day would cost $120BDS, a full day $150BDS, or a week for $570BDS. They also rent equipment, for windsurfing you can only get small boards, as the waves are big and really only for experienced windsurfers. They do offer lessons but this is at the Maxwell shop where the sea is calmer for learning.
As with all hotels in Barbados it is advisable to check in with reception if you want to use the amenities. You can access the beach without going through the hotel, but the hotel entrance is the easiest way.
