Sandy Lane Beach, Private beach on the Platinum Coast, Barbados
Sandy Lane Beach is a private beach on the Platinum Coast in Barbados where white coral sand meets Caribbean waters. Mahogany trees line the shoreline, and the setting is sheltered and well-maintained.
The beach became known internationally in the 1960s after the Sandy Lane Hotel opened and established the area as a luxury destination. The hotel's development shaped what the place is today.
The beach staff come from the local community and greet visitors with the warm hospitality typical of Barbados. You notice this welcoming approach in how they interact with guests from around the world.
You can reach the beach through a pathway near One Sandy Lane Hotel, though beach facilities are reserved for hotel guests. Plan for a bit of walking if you are coming from outside the hotel grounds.
Between July and October, hawksbill turtles arrive to lay eggs on this shoreline, leaving tracks across the white coral sand. These seasonal visitors make the beach noteworthy during those months.
