Copacabana and Harbour Lights (Carlisle Bay Beach Bars)

13° 5.5′ N · 59° 36.6′ W · approximate

The bay's beach-bar strip on Bay Street: a rum punch on the sand by day and, a few nights a week, music until the early hours.

Practical

Position is the Copacabana Beach Bar & Grill from OpenStreetMap (approx); Harbour Lights is about 250 m south. Cruisers have long picked up free wifi from Copacabana while anchored off it (Noonsite). Noonsite and cruiser reports describe a 'noise war' from bar speakers aimed out to sea in high season, and a 2015 report named Harbour Lights as the loud one, with club nights until 3-4 am. Anchor upwind, off the yacht clubs, if you want to sleep. Tranquility Cruises' turtle and shipwreck trips leave from Copacabana (Visit Barbados).

Sundowners and a night out ashore
