There is a scenic area in the north-east of Barbados that few Bajans visit. The beach is not suitable for swimming, but there is a pool that you can sit in. Of course, there is a possibility that a big wave could come in and take you out. The pool may be dangerous. High winds may blow you off the cliffs.
How to get there
First get a road map and then ask a trusted source to mark the way. (There are some annoying panhandlers in the area so don’t ask for directions on the road. Don’t pick up hitch-hikers and don’t trust someone if they say the bridge/road is out.) You may click on the image below to see the Google map. The red marks below shows you how to get down to the beach (right arrow), and walk the cliff (red arrow).
The path is very rough, and there are loose rocks. Waterproof sandals are recommended. The pool is outlined by the red circle. To get to the pool you go through a hole in the cliff. The hole as seen from the beach is below:
Walking on the cliff top is a treat for those who are not risk-adverse. There
is a continuous fine salt spray. You should put your camera in a waterproof
housing to be safe.

How true.
I walked/escorted a group of 12 of our guests from Bottom Bay to the Crane last Friday. We only passed two people and sometimes its easy to forget just how beautiful Barbados is and how lucky we are to have these special little places despite the density of population.
Thanks. I’ll try to put up another secluded beach before too long!
I noticed that the Peach and Quiet website has a Walking Week that looks great. What a wonderful (and healthy) way to enjoy the beauty of Barbados!
PLEASE!!!!!! If you know about these “secret” little places keep your mouths shut and don’t put them on the Internet. In two twos the blinkety-blank safari tour guys will be there and ruin it for everybody. Anybody tried driving less than an army tank to get to Cove Bay since the “eco” tours started driving there. In Dominica these favoured spots are now refered to as the “sacrifical sites” since they have been offered up to the great god of tourist dollars and real Dominicans petty much driven out. The tourists can have the west coast beaches and part of the south coast. Leave the rest for the “natives”.
Little bay and Waites Bay - two contiguous bays just beyond Pie Corner in St, Lucy are gems!
Unfortunately, the safari jeeps have discovered them and so have the panhandlers. We hope that the Police will keep a close watch on them.
Thewhiterabbit,
I am sure that the Safari Guys already know every “secret” beach in the island. Anyway, this information had already been posted on the Government site.
negrocat,
Thanks. Yes, there are several little beaches from St. Lucy all the way down to Silver Sands.
