The Crane Beach, Barbados

The pink sand of the Crane Beach in Barbados is wonderfully fine, pounded into submission by powerful Atlantic waves. The sea here is fierce, better for body boarding than swimming, and you can rent boards next to the lifeguards hut. This is a long beach and the views are spectacular, especially from the hotel on the cliff above. Strong winds mean that you won’t feel yourself burning, so constantly reapply suncream.
