Carlisle Bay, Natural harbor beach in Bridgetown, Barbados
This crescent-shaped stretch of white sand spans along the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, featuring calm swimming conditions throughout the year.
The bay received its name from James Hay, Earl of Carlisle, who served as Lord Proprietor of Barbados during the British colonial period in 1627.
Local fishermen bring their daily catches to shore each morning, maintaining centuries-old traditions while modern boats cruise the harbor waters.
Visitors can access changing rooms, showers, beach chair rentals, and parking facilities, with numerous restaurants and shops within walking distance.
Six shipwrecks rest beneath the surface of Carlisle Bay, creating an underwater museum that attracts divers and marine life.
