10 Free Things to do in Christ Church Parish That You Shouldn't Miss
Christ Church is located on the southern end of the island of Barbados, on the vibrant South Coast. Have fun traveling from beach to beach in a reggae boogie-bus and in the evening, charter a sunset cruise or head out to a seaside club and dance the night away. Sunbathe, snorkel or jet ski at a choice of beaches. If you prefer a quieter beach setting, it’s very easy to find one. The island has many long, isolated stretches of perfect white sand and crystal blue waters.

We stayed in worthing for two weeks on our honeymoon, and we visited this beach a lot. It has it all: clean, white sand, turquise warm waters with a lot of fun waves, lots of beach chairs and umbrellas for the fair price of 30 Barbados Dollars for a day, and toilet/bath facilities. There is also a lifeguard tower watching the beach at all times. In the area, there are lots of great places to eat, snack and get some icecream. We went to some different beaches on our trip to Barbados - this was the best of them!

Enterprise Beach looks great in pictures, but it is also good for swimming.
Reviewed By Mancromthecoast - Liverpool, United Kingdom
In our opinion the best beach on the island, one that gives you options???? The calm side is great for a long warm bath where you can relax, swim and even talk with other bathers, many returnees amidst the throng of locals. We usually did it in 2-hours stints before towelling down- my partner has rheumatoid arthritis so this is also therapy time for her having been assisted in, as well as, out of the water. After the water it is time to chill on a chair or bench, soaking in the rays and reading a book. Hunger and thirst are sated via a walk into Oistins for a roti from Chefette, KFC, food from a street van or one of the Oistins cafes. Make the effort and take the plunge.

We went for the Sunday BBQ ($40) which was excellent. We had the lamb, others with us had the chicken or fish and everyone really enjoyed their meals. (The BBQ starts at 12:30 and I would recommend you get there early as there can be quite a lineup.) The rum punch is reasonable and potent. Entertainment was provided by Mr. Impact aka Mr. Wonderful (I’m not kidding) who sang and played steel pan (both very well). A scantily clad dancer dragged people up from the audience and managed to embarrass the participating men to the amusement and delight of the crowd. A good time was had by all.

Lovely white sand beach with palm trees and almond trees to give shade when you need it. Great backdrop with the deep blue Caribbean sea, clean clear and full of fish, a good place for swimming and relaxing. I'd recommend it, one of the nicest beaches on Barbados.

We stayed at Accra hotel (not great/lots of improvement needed) but this beach was perfect! The Tikki bar made it for us and Nicholas the Surf Teacher (by his yellow boat and sunbeds outside Accra Hotel) are our reasons to come back! On our last day we saw him teaching some kids how to surf (ages from 8 and up) and having enquired with their parents watching from the shore we booked my 7 year old Sammy a lesson. Don’t negotiate, he’s a fixed rate if $80 usd for 2 hours (he went over) and he earns every penny! He’s brilliant with kids, great at clear precise teaching and he teaches them up by the safe part at the Tikki bar and if there are no waves he goes to the next beach Dover beach. After just 2 hours my 7 year old (only just turned 7( can surf)! Incredible to watch. Thank you Nicholas. Mick and Jo Bell

We walk some distance to get a more traditional breakfast egg bacon toast. Food is good, coffee is excellent, the barista will make some art on all latte. The smooties are also quite good.

As we stayed very close to Red Rooster Bar formerly “Scoopies” we often stopped for our final drink before we got home. It soon became our favourite nighttime hangout! The new family running this are awesome and are just so friendly and personable you just have to love them! Always great entertainment and friendly staff. Have the fish cakes and chicken wings, you won’t be disappointed, Jarod is determined he is going back next year to see Joshie aka Babe :)

Best of Barbados Gift Shop has a wonderful selection of quality/unique gifts if you're looking to purchase something to take back to friends, family or yourself! We actually shopped at this location in Rockley and also the one at the cruise port. There are a variety of items to choose from and I love that they focus on supporting local artisans. Be sure to add one of their shops to your trip agenda!
