Warm, calm, and crystal clear waters describe the beaches in the West Coast where the Sandy Lane Hotel is located.  These clean, white sandy beaches are considered peaceful because of their mostly small waves which allow visitors to enjoy a variety of activities.  Visitors can participate in swimming, snorkeling, sailing, diving, and other water sports; and on land, visitors can play volleyball and paddle tennis, have a picnic, take a walk, and sunbath. Pedal boats and glass bottoms boats are also available for tourists.

The South Coast, also known as the Fun Coast, is a little more active than the West Coast. The white sandy beaches have clear water with mostly medium-sized waves. The following activities can be enjoyed in the South Coast: swimming, windsurfing, body surfing, kite boarding, scuba diving, snorkeling, and parasailing.  Visitors can also walk along the beach, play volleyball and paddle ball, and enjoy rides in a pedal boat, kayak, and glass bottom boat. The South Coast beaches also feature an ocean trampoline and slide and a mountain climbing iceberg.

Barbados’ East Coast beaches are recognized for their seascape, landscape, and breathtaking views. Many photographers and nature lovers take pleasure in these beaches that are full of tranquility. The locations are great for surfing, but swimming is not recommended because of the large waves and strong currents.

On the North Coast of Barbados there are not many beaches, but the coast is known for enormous waves, attractive scenery, and hidden coves.  Surfing is popular here, but swimming is not recommended.  Surfers in both the North and East Coast have to be careful because of the unpredictable currents and rocky bottom of the ocean floor.  Visitors tend to go sightseeing, hiking, picnicking, or on tours on the North Coast of Barbados.
