Maxwell Beach, Beach in Christ Church, Barbados
Maxwell Beach extends along the southern coast with white sand and calm waters between rocky outcrops and gentle slopes towards the Caribbean Sea.
During the British colonial period in the 1800s, the Maxwell family established their residence near this shoreline, giving the beach its current name.
Local vendors set up food stalls during weekends, offering traditional Bajan fish cakes, flying fish, and fresh coconut water to beachgoers.
The beach maintains public access from 6 AM to 6 PM, with parking spaces available near Bougainvillea Resort and several rental shops for beach equipment.
Sea turtles frequently visit the shallow waters near the shore between July and October, making it a prime location for underwater observation.
