Things to do in Welchtown

Visitors to Barbados who fancy a bit of active fun in the sun consistently flock to Dover Beach on the island's south-west coast. The gentle current and comfortable swell, as well as the dependable ocean breeze, make the beach perfect for watersports of all kinds, while the nearby Dover Playing Field offers sporting opportunities for those who would rather not get their feet wet.

Situated near the southern tip of Barbados, Miami Beach (or Enterprise Beach, as some refer to it) is a great spot for all the family, with everything from tidal pools for the little ones to respectable waves for the not-so-little.

As is the case with many Barbadian beaches, Accra Beach is known among locals by two different names, the other being Rockley Beach. Situated on the southern coast of the island, this beautiful strand boasts calm, tropical waters and soft, golden sand.

With its clear blue waters and reliably gentle currents, Mullins Beach is one of the most northerly beaches on Barbados. Given its distance from the capital, the beach is also one of the island's quietest, offering plentiful opportunities for leisurely strolls and soaking up the sunshine.

A little slice of heaven on earth, Crane Beach is considered to be one of Barbados’ most outstanding beaches, and indeed one of the top ten beaches in the world. It’s no wonder then that this romantic haven on the island’s south-east coast is a popular choice for honeymooners.

If you fancy taking a break from sun loungers and snorkelling, there’s no better place to visit than the Barbados Wildlife Reserve; a wonderful, tropical haven teeming with native and non-native creatures. Located in the northern parish of St Peter, this reserve is the perfect spot for a fun-filled, family day out. Kids will love watching the animals roaming around freely in their natural, unspoilt habitat, while the adults can appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscape and the efforts of those running this protected sanctuary.
