n Barbados,
Bath Beach is one of the few truly 'safe' beaches for swimming along the entire east coast which is located on the Atlantic side of the island.
It has medium waves with a slight undertow close to shore. The best bet for a good time is off to the left of the beach bar, where it is calm and clear.
Bath beach is great for snorkeling because of its long stretch of coral reef and is one of the most popular beaches with the locals on weekends and public holidays picnics.
Surrounded by casuarina trees this area is ideal for picnics and family outings, especially with the children’s play area and the many facilities.
North of the beach is a beautiful small waterfall and some remains of the old train line which ran from Bridgetown to Bathsheba during 1881-1937.
In this area are also some beachfront accommodations.
