Setting
Barbados coast
Overview
Archer’s Bay is a small north-coast beach below the limestone cliffs of Saint Lucy. Clifftop views and the stairway down to the bay make it a scenic coastal stop. The official tourism guide warns that the sea is rough, rocky and affected by a dangerous undertow, so it is unsuitable for bathing. It also lists no public washroom or lifeguard; check local conditions before approaching the shore.
Sea conditions change. Follow lifeguard, flag and local guidance before swimming or snorkeling.
