Miami Beach
Calmer waters at Enterprise Beach
Shaded by a host of wispy casuarina trees, picturesque and friendly Miami Beach (also known as Enterprise Beach) is a popular picnic spot at weekends. Mid-week it’s much quieter.
With a lifeguard station (below), the beach offers both calmer shallower water for kids to bathe in safely, and friskier waves to bodysurf too.
There’s also a snack-bar in a converted old Mercedes bus at the back of the beach, and a café across the road.
Half a mile down the coast is Freight’s Bay, popular with turtles and home to a surf school that is ideal for beginners.
By bus: The #11ZR zips along from Bridgetown as far as Silver Sands, and bus #27, which runs between Speightstown and Oistins, can pick up/ drop off along the West Coast. The Oistins bus terminal is a 2-minute walk from the beach.
