Holetown Beach

Holetown Beach This busy little bay called Holetown Beach is a very popular spot on the island, especially with visitors to Barbados. It has crystal clear waters and calm sea conditions with little to no undertow.

Holetown Beach is a nice beach for swimming, with beach operators offering a range of watersports activities, umbrella rentals and beach chair rentals.

At Holetown beach you will also find a number of beach vendors selling colourful locally made jewellery and craft and tropical beach wear. There is also a beach bar on the beachfront.

This beach is located in the historic Holetown area which is home to many stores, shops, restaurants, a supermarket, a Post Office and lots more.
