๐Ÿ“Œ Where to Find It

You'll find Alleynes Bay nestled between Colony Club beach to the south and Weston beach to the north. Getting there is easy โ€” either take a scenic walk northward from Colony Club or access it directly from Highway 1. No fancy directions needed!

๐Ÿ–๏ธ What to Expect

Gentle waves kiss the shoreline, practically inviting you in for a dip. The water? Crystal-clear and perfect for snorkeling so don't forget your gear. Swim out a bit and you might make friends with the local sea turtles!

โŒš Best Time to Visit

Early morning is magic at Alleynes Bay. If you're feeling adventurous, start at the Folkestone section of the west coast boardwalk and make your way north to the bay. The beach gets natural shade in the morning hours, making your stroll extra comfortable. Feel free to pick up the pace if you're looking to work off last night's rum punch!

And don't miss the sunset! As the day winds down, Alleynes Bay transforms into one of the best spots on the island to witness the sky explode with vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples as the sun dips into the Caribbean Sea. Grab your camera (or just sit back and take it all in) as the horizon lights up with colors you'll be talking about long after your vacation ends.

๐Ÿงบ Refreshments

Grab a cool drink or quick bite at the beach bar, or bring your own picnic to enjoy with your toes in the sand. Nothing beats lunch with an ocean view!

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ Good to Know

There's a lifeguard keeping watch, but be aware that there are no beach facilities (showers, changing rooms, etc).

So if you're after a quieter beach experience without sacrificing any of that famous Bajan beauty, Alleynes Bay should be on your must-visit list.
