Long Bay, Beach in Saint Philip, Barbados
Description
Long Bay stretches along the southeast coast of Barbados with white sand fringed by coconut palms and shaped by strong ocean currents. The shoreline lacks restaurants, bars, or other commercial facilities that you'll find at other beaches nearby.
History
The beach sits below Sam Lord's Castle, which began construction in 1820 and shaped this coastal region's story. This location tied the shoreline to the estate's history and its influence on local development over the generations.
Culture
The beach embodies the natural character of Saint Philip parish, preserving a quieter quality compared to the busier coastal developments found elsewhere on the island.
Practical
Bring your own supplies including water and food, as the beach has no facilities or shops available. Plan accordingly and allow yourself time to reach and explore this more remote location.
