Barbados Beaches: South Coast Beaches: Rockley Beach

Also known as Accra Beach, this very popular south coast beach offers a combination of exciting waves and calm swimming.

Relax on a chaise lounge or on the soft white sand, under the shade of a casuarina or sea-grape tree, or enjoy one of the many watersports activities that are available from the beach such as windsurfing, sunfish sailing, Hobie Cat rides and snorkeling. Boogie boarding and body surfing are particularly popular.

Vendors kiosks have been established at Rockley Beach, from which you can buy colourful clothing and local jewellery and handicraft.

Hop across the road to Quayside Centre for a great lunch (grilled fish, Chinese, Mexican, pizza, pasta, ice cream) and to shop for local craft, giftware and beachwear.

When the beach gets too hot, enjoy the cool Best of Barbados Gift Shop in Quayside Centre, easy walking distance across from the beach and filled with an exciting range of beautiful Barbadian art and giftware.
