Paynes Bay Beach, Caribbean beach in St. James Parish, Barbados
The golden sand coastline stretches along turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, providing 500 meters of beachfront with white sand and palm trees.
Since the colonial period, this coastal area has served as a center for fishing activities, leading to the establishment of Paynes Bay Fish Market.
Local fishermen bring their daily catch to the Paynes Bay Fishing Complex, where residents and visitors select fresh fish for traditional Bajan recipes.
The beach offers essential facilities including parking spaces, restrooms, showers, lifeguard services, beach chair rentals, and multiple food vendors throughout the area.
The beach waters contain natural reefs where sea turtles frequently swim, making it an excellent location for snorkeling and marine life observation.
