This beach is situated in a stunning area of Barbados, right next to Folkstone Marine Park. The service provided was top-notch, with a professional and friendly staff. The drinks were perfectly blended and satisfying. I ordered the fish cakes and they were cooked to perfection, bursting with flavors that reminded me of sunshine. The music played at just the right volume, creating a pleasant atmosphere that made you want to dance along.

We had forgotten to bring cash with us, and unfortunately, they didn't accept cards. However, they kindly offered us a drink and told us to return another day to settle the payment. The staff was very friendly, the food was excellent, and the beach location was absolutely delightful. We are grateful to Snowy's for the wonderful experience.

This place is amazing! The owner is incredibly friendly and the bar he runs is exceptionally clean. The drinks he serves are always fresh and expertly made. It was a delightful experience being served by him and his daughter Karen. You have the option to snorkel right in front of the beach or simply relax under the shade of the trees. It was a fantastic discovery... receiving service with a smile. What more could you ask for?
