Do not swim on the East Coast
The East Coast of the Barbados looks like a page out of a fairy tale because they offer some of the most amazing views with beautiful landscapes. That part of the island has not been ‘destroyed’ by humans yet and it is spectacular.
Nonetheless, the waters on this part are very strong with pounding surfs and can be too turbulent for average swimmers. So, swimming here will not be the best for you. When in need of some immersive swimming then opt for the more safe west coast and south beaches who have fully trained lifeguards on standby.
