Batts Rock Beach
|
Batts Rock Beach is located on the west coast of Barbados, in the parish of St. James. Batts Rock Beach is another hidden treasure in Barbados and is just a short walk from Brighton beach.
Its setting is wonderful in a beautiful park which is currently being rehabilitated by the NCC (National Conservation Commission).
Things to Do
There are picnic tables, showers, toilets, a lifeguard on duty and a children's playground.
There is no food or drink for sale so it is a good idea to take a picnic. There are lots of tress for shade and you will see Barbados green monkeys running wild.
An ideal location for weddings, this is a very peaceful area with no water sports operating from this beach, however, there it is a good spot for snorkeling.

We got married on Batts Rock Beach in 2007 and it was fabulous, just a few friends & a local vicar and a handful of locals - perfect!

We have lived here for a year, and were told to stay away from this beach as it is too dangerous as a high crime area. I shouldn't even be writing this, but I LOVE this beach as it isn't as crowded as so many others. It is usually quiet, peaceful, and only the occasional screaming children running amok. I have family members currently visiting, and one had even found some negative information during her pre-arrival research of Barbados. She also found that Batts Rock is not safe. This area gets a very bad rap as I have never felt threatened or in danger.
