Brandons Beach, Public beach in Saint Michael, Barbados
Brandons Beach is a public beach along the western coast of Barbados with white sand and calm waters suitable for swimming throughout the year. The shoreline features gentle waves and clear water that make it accessible for swimmers of all abilities.
The beach became known in the 1960s when local fishermen established permanent mooring points for their traditional fishing boats in this area. This development linked the beach to the fishing practices that continue to shape the coastal community.
Local residents gather here regularly to swim and spend time together, with mornings being the most popular time for these social meetings. The beach serves as a gathering place where people connect with each other and the water.
The beach sits just north of Bridgetown harbor with ample parking nearby and beach chair rentals available on-site. Dining options serving local food are accessible, making it a comfortable spot for spending the day.
An offshore water park with floating inflatable platforms, slides, and obstacle courses sits in the Caribbean Sea just beyond the shoreline. This floating playground adds an unexpected recreational element that extends the beach experience into the water.
