Drill Hall Beach: A Family Favourite
Drill Hall beach is one of the most diverse in Barbados. Here you'll find a variety of sea conditions with something for everyone!
For little ones, the calm, shallow waters are perfect for wading and discovering the hidden treasures of the natural ocean pools which are teeming with marine life.
If your older kids are itching to ride the waves, the sea conditions make an ideal spot to learn to surf.
Adults will enjoy a leisurely swim in the open waters at the eastern end, where the conditions are typically calm and inviting.
Wide shaded areas and picnic benches invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy another beautiful day in paradise. If you're feeling more energetic, head east and enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk or head west and explore the charming Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Drill Hall Beach is a haven for sea turtles, and if you're lucky, you may witness the incredible sight of baby turtles hatching from their eggs and making their way to the ocean.
The beach's name is a nod to its historical significance. Nearby military buildings, where soldiers once practiced drills, now serve as the headquarters of the Barbados Defence Force.
