6. Brighton Beach

Located on the south-west coast of Barbados, Brighton Beach lies somewhat under the tourism radar and is mostly frequented by local Barbadians seeking a place to chill out after a hard day's work. That being said, its close proximity to the Bridgetown Cruise Terminal often makes it the first port of call for cruise visitors searching for somewhere to spend the day after disembarking from one of the many luxury cruise ships that dock nearby.
