The Boatyard Beach Club
★ 4.3 · 3,199 reviews Bridgetown Opened Opening date unknown
Carlisle Bay's beach club that never closes, not even Christmas
Ask five people for Bridgetown's busiest beach day out and four will name this one. Kayaks, snorkeling gear and a rope swing that shows up in half the city's Instagram feeds sit right on Carlisle Bay, next to a straightforward bar and restaurant menu.
Cruise groups and families fill most of the sand, though a nightlife crowd drifts in once the tour buses clear out. There's an entry fee, and it hasn't slowed anyone down.

This is a lovely club with a fantastic beach. It’s clean and well-maintained and the food is delicious. There’s even a parking spot and a water trampoline. You get decent food credit with your entrance fee (20 out of 40 dollars). Plus, a free snorkelling boat tour is included. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

This place is one of the best beaches, I have been to on the island. You get a $40 day pass that also gives you back $20 to spend on food and beverage, that's a great deal in my book. The beach is clean. And I love having access to the beach chairs when they are available, it's on a first come first serve basis. There is free wifi but it can be spotty down by the beach. For the kiddos there is a trampoline, a slide, plus a swing for them to spend hours entertaining themselves. For the family there is an snorkeling tour already included in the day pass price. The food and drinks are tasty plus all the staff is very friendly. I definitely recommend this place for an awesome beach day experience!

We happened to cross this place by chance and what a great day we had here. The cost was $40 US per person , and that included a $20 cash card for beverage and food purchases, it included an umbrella and beach chairs, it included use of the water trampoline , the water slide and the swim with turtles/ shipwreck , forty five minute tour, including all gear. They have very strict security here: if you did not pay to enter this part of the beach, they kept you off of the property. There were certain areas that if you didn't pay the $40 fee, you could still gather, but it didn't include any of the amenities , obviously. Thus place offers freshwater showers, plenty of food options and lots of cocktail options, including an 11 AM to 12 PM, happy hour. If you have luggage , they provide locked storage for your larger bags or smaller lockers for your smaller bags. I didn't see anywhere that they offered beach towels, but we did bring our own. They did not allow individual speakers , which we found out was a blessing! This place happens at 9 AM and closes at 6 PM. There's a small parking lot if you drive here, but I have a feeling that once that gets full, parking is a nightmare, as it is all over this part of the island. Great value and would definitely recommend a day at the Boatyard!

Great place for grown ups and kids. They have a Jetty with a Tarzan swing, a beach trampoline and slide a short swim away from the shore. Food and drinks are reasonably priced and you have to pay extra to do snorkeling to see shipwrecks and turtles which can be slightly longer but worth it.

Stopped here while on our cruise and I would come back again. For $40USD we got 2 beach chairs and umbrella rental, 2 free drinks (alcohol and nonalcoholic), access to their inflatables and rope swing, 45 minutes of snorkeling, and a ride back to the cruise port. It was honestly the best thing we could’ve done for the day. The beach was absolutely gorgeous. Literal perfection The food and drinks were good too. I had the flying fish sandwich and macaroni pie. My daughter had nachos and the BBQ wings. It did take about 45 mins to get our food, but they told us this well in advance, so it wasn’t a big deal. Everything is made to order and they are pretty busy. You’re able to order and they announce over the loudspeaker which is great because you can continue enjoying the amenities.
