The
island country of
Barbados has more than 70 miles (110 km) of beaches of both pink and white sands, which are made of
coral reefs that have been ground into a very fine powder by the waves of the ocean. Beaches on Barbados can be categorized by region: north and east coast beaches, south coast beaches, and west coast beaches. East and north coast beaches are facing the
Atlantic Ocean, while the waters of the southern beaches are a combination of both the Atlantic Ocean and
Caribbean Sea. The west coast, or the
Platinum Coast, beaches are brimmed by the warm waters of the Caribbean. This is a list of many of the
beaches located in Barbados. There are no private beaches on the island.[1][2][3][4][5]
