Gibbes beach
Gibbes Beach is a cozy deserted beach with a length of about 500 m. It is located on the west coast of Barbados, in the parish of St. James, within walking distance of Mullins Bay Beach. Gibbes Beach is a thin strip of golden sand surrounded on one side by shady trees, and on the other by the Caribbean Sea with crystal clear, calm water. The entrance to the sea is pretty steep in places, so when coming here with children, you need to carefully look after them.
