River Bay, located on the north coast of
Barbados, is a very popular picnic spot and many persons head to the area on weekends and public holidays. During the week River Bay is much quieter.
This is an ideal look-out spot from which you can see the impressive northern
coastline where the waves pound the cliffs, creating breathtaking seasprays. Whales are occassionally spotted off this coastline.
Beach facilities
- washrooms, changing rooms and showers - are available and there are numerous
picnic benches set under the shade of the trees.
A freshwater river runs down to the sea,
hence the name of the bay.
At low tide, River Bay is popular for seabathing
but those unfamiliar with the area should be extremely cautious and never venture too far out to sea where the currents are strong.
This is a good stop to combine with a visit
to the Animal Flower Cave.
To discover
this scenic location and others, take an island
tour.
