In Barbados, the ships usually arrange to take you to the Hilton for the day as they allow you to use their facilities. But the best beaches are up on the west coast, particularly Sandy Lane. The hotel is posh and doesn't let non-guests walk through the property unless you tell them you're going for lunch or drinks. All beaches in Barbados are open to the public and there is a public access to the beach but it's kind of through some woods. The other alternative is to go up to "Bombas" which is a restaurant on the beach which will rent you chairs if you'd like and allow you to use their facilities. Plus it's a great little place to have lunch. Better than packing it in with all the people from the ship at the Hilton!

Just returned from two weeks-been there 4 times
Best Beach-Bar None:
Dawn Beach-Hard to get to-follow signs for Mr. Busbys Beach Bar-only about 30 people on 1 mile strand of one of the most picturesque beaches in the world.
Other world class beaches:
Orient(naturally), Baie Rouge, Cupecoy(don't go when the wind is from the southeast). Maho is interesting since the jets land right over the baech. Mullet is a pretty beach but is not kept since the parent hotel is out of business since Luis.
