Discover more about Morgan Lewis Beach

Morgan Lewis Beach, situated in the parish of St. Andrew on Barbados' northeastern coast, provides a raw and relatively untouched coastal experience. Unlike the calm, turquoise waters of the west coast, this beach faces the Atlantic Ocean, resulting in a wilder, more rugged landscape. It's a long, wide expanse of golden sand, inviting visitors for contemplative walks. Beachcombers can discover seashells and driftwood, remnants of the ocean's powerful waves. The constant breeze makes it ideal for kite flying, while the dramatic waves attract surfers seeking a challenge. Swimming, however, is generally not recommended due to strong currents and undertows. The beach's isolation offers a sense of peace and tranquility, far from crowded resorts. You might encounter local fishermen or horseback riders. Photographers will find ample opportunities to capture the contrast between the golden sand, turquoise water, and lush green vegetation. Sunsets at Morgan Lewis are particularly spectacular, painting the sky with vibrant colors. Nearby, the Morgan Lewis Windmill, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a glimpse into the island's sugar production past. Visitors can explore other attractions like Cherry Tree Hill, the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, and St. Nicholas Abbey.
