Best Spots in Barbados to Watch the Sunrise and the Sunset

Best Spots in Barbados to Watch the Sunrise and the Sunset

Experiencing a sunrise or sunset is a very romantic and picturesque moment. However, even if you do not have that special someone, it is also a great experience to enjoy on your own. Barbados is ranked as one of the best Caribbean destinations to watch sunrises and sunsets. This article presents 12 of the best places across the island to engage in this activity.

Best Places to Watch the Sunset

Virtually, any beach or area on the west or south coast is ideal for watching for sunsets. Sunsets usually occur between 6:00pm and 6:30pm in Barbados (depending on the time of the year). The ideal locations in the area are usually beaches, so throwing a picnic basket in the car and setting up camp on beach as you watch the sunset is not a bad idea. Here are 7 of the best spots to view sunsets:

Miami Beach

Location: Oistins, Christ Church

 

 

The Gap

Location: St. Lawrence Gap, Christ Church

 

 

The Boardwalk

Location: Hastings, Christ Church

 

 

 

Maxwell Beach

Location: Maxwell Coast Road, Christ Church

 

 

 

Brandon’s Beach

Location: Spring Garden Highway, St. Michael

 

 

 

Folkestone Park

Location: Folkestone, St. James

 

 

Freshwater Bay

Location: St. James

 

 

 

 

Best Places to Watch the Sunrise

The South Coast is to the sunset, what the East Coast is the sunrise. Those who live in the countryside with a view of the East Coast are ideally placed to see the best sunrises in the island. However, even if one does not live in the country, a nice cool early morning drive to St. Joseph, St. John or St. Andrew, will allow you to experience awesome sunrises as well, which usually occur between 5:30am and 6:00am, depending on the time of year. Here are 3 of the best locations on the East Coast to watch the sunrise, in addition to two on the South Coast:

1) Cattlewash Beach
Location: Ermy Bourne Highway, Belleplaine, St. Andrew

2) Bathsheba
Location: St. Joseph

 

 

                                                                     3) Cherry Tree
                                                                      Location: St. Andrew

 

 

4) Bottom Bay
Location: St. Philip

 

 

 

5) The Crane Resort
Location: The Crane Resort, St. Philip

 

 

 

 

Therefore, if you are on your way home from or going to work in the evening or early morning, take a slight detour and experience the sunrise and sunset in Barbados. While you can also plan nice evening or early morning outing to experience these, it can also be something you do spontaneously, which will certainly not detract from the overall experience.
