<\/p>\nWe love heading to the beach just before sunset.. what better way to unwind after a busy day than with a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters and watching the sun slip slowly into the sea?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A beach trip in the late afternoon gives visitors the chance to mingle with locals<\/strong>, who flock to the shores after work for a beach walk,\u00a0 game of paddle ball, or swim. Especially popular with Bajans are Miami Beach<\/strong>, Carlisle Bay<\/strong>, Brandons Beach<\/strong> and Batts Rock Beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sunset at the beach<\/p><\/div>\n As dusk approaches there is a welcome respite<\/strong> from the heat of the day, and the sky becomes filled with stunning tropical hues<\/strong>. Be sure to look for the “green flash”<\/strong>, a curious\u00a0optical phenomenon that causes a green spot to appear as the sun\u00a0sets. While not visible every evening, the\u00a0unobstructed horizon views from our beaches often offer up this intriguing sight.<\/p>\n Tropical Sunset Hues<\/p><\/div>\n The beach bars<\/strong> along the west coast of the island are great spots to\u00a0enjoy a cold beer or cocktail as you watch the sun set.\u00a0Little Bristol in Speightstown and Surfside Restaurant and Bar in Holetown are two of our favourites. The west coast boardwalk<\/strong> is another wonderful location where you can have a swim in the tranquil waters, stroll the boardwalk, and watch the sun slip away for another day.<\/p>\n Several local catamarans offer a sunset cruise<\/strong>, with a chance to swim with the sea turtles in the late afternoon before enjoying canapes as you glide back to the harbour.<\/p>\n Vibrant sunset colours<\/p><\/div>\n Sunset cove<\/p><\/div>\n Sun between the trees<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We love heading to the beach just before sunset.. what better way to unwind after a busy day than with a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters and watching the sun slip slowly into the sea?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85,51,99,63],"tags":[13,18,397],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1473"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Sunset](\"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sunset-at-the-beach.jpg\")
