There are no private beaches in Barbados. But, this little spot is a hidden gem. Not many people know about it and there are many times you’ll have the beach to yourself. There are even a few Sun Loungers there for you to use for free. The sea is very rough though and sometimes the seaweed gets washed up onto the sand. Definitely a beach to check out
