Paynes Bay Beach Rentals

Paynes Bay Beach Villas

Paynes Bay is a popular destination along the west coast of Barbados. This vibrant area is also known as the "Platinum Coast", and it holds a beautiful stretch of golden shoreline, overlooking mild turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Paynes Bay Beach Barbados is located in the parish of St. James which is one of the top destinations on the island. It offers a central location with Sandy Lane beach and Estate, Westmoreland, Mullins Bay, and Holetown to the north, and Fitts Village and Batts Rock Bay to the south.

Paynes Bay Beach Barbados is a sought-after paradise that can be busy during peak season but never overcrowded. We recommend visiting the beach earlier in the day to guarantee the best spot. However if you book one of the Paynes Bay Villas, you will have your own reserved spot on this beautiful beach.

Access to Paynes Bay

Accessing the beach is easy as if offers adequate parking and pedestrian walkways. As you drive along the road look out for the St. James Pentecostal Church – the beach is directly across the way from here. The beach curves along the coast and is fringed by tall swaying palms, casting a patchwork of refreshing shade along the powdery sand.

As the beach is nestled in a Bay the waters are calm, and safe to swim in. They are even great for water sports such as snorkeling or spotting some sea turtles as the waters is clean and clear. If you want to go snorkeling, then we advise brining your own gear. Many of the locals say this beach is the best swimmable beach on the island and the neighborhood surrounding it is friendly and welcoming.
