Anchorages in Barbados South & East Coast

CRITICAL WARNING: East Coast NOT Anchorable in Normal Conditions

The Atlantic windward east coast of Barbados — Bathsheba, Tent Bay, Consett Bay, Bottom Bay, and Harrismith Bay — receives the full fetch of the North Atlantic trade wind swell directly. Even in “calm” periods, 1–3m swell arrives continuously. These entries are included for emergency reference and local knowledge documentation only. Visit the east coast by rental car from Bridgetown (30–45 minutes) — not by sea. South coast bays (Oistins, Miami Beach, Silver Sands, Foul Bay) are manageable in settled conditions but require south swell monitoring before overnight stays.
