Hilton Barbados Beach 2019 #swimminghorses #DiveBarbados #HiltonHotels #HiltonBarbados #Barbadostourism #Snorkelbarbados #Coastalbohemians

Recently, I was lucky enough to travel to Barbados with my sister Jennifer. She treated me to this incredible beach vacation. #CoastalBohemians #coastalbohemiansisters

We stayed at the #HiltonBarbados. It's a 4-4.5 star resort, on some of the "best parts of the coastline beaches in Barbados", according to everyone we spoke with .

Here is a view from our 7th floor room. Off to the right you can see the jetty and some beach front. Most days it was too rough for us to swim and wade and that's why I have included the bay beach that we did go to everyday. You'll find it as you scroll down.

Here you can see the Hilton beach front waters at the jetty to our left.

A panoramic on a beautiful day.Look at that turquoise water. #coastalbohemianlove

More pics of the #HiltonBarbados beachfront.

A stroll past the lifeguard station and the water begins to calm and there is this abundance of colorful red and white coral that is so prevalent on the Island. And seriously, the sand was more pink than Bermuda.Yeah, I took some of that sh!T home. I feel like a smuggler hoping not to get caught with the goods. I have had seashells confiscated from me and so I know the heartbreak of loosing my stash.

This is a spot of sandy beach just off to the side of the Hilton property and if you walk further down away from the Hilton this way you will eventually find a walking path , boardwalk style.

This was an area that kicked out a few nice red and white corals and also one tiny black and white shell. Not a big seashell vacation at all, but ooooh that pink sand.

This is a view of the Bay area at the Hilton and of the beach we played in everyday.

Here on the Bay, the waves are softer and you can enter the beachfront from the parking lot of the Hilton. The Hilton keeps a few lounges down there and someone from the property is usually there to bring the lounges out to the beach for you and there is no fee for the lounges if you are staying at the Hilton.
This beach is not a part of the Hilton property but this was a kinder, more gentle beach and needed to be included here, especially since we spent every moment we could lounging and swimming and walking here.

On this same area of the beach you can find horses swimming in the water with their trainers. (What did she just say?) And according to the staff of the Hilton, you can even find sea turtles swimming and feeding in the morning.
As for the horses, they take them into the water and out swimming in the bay each morning between 5:30 am -7:00 am. These are the race horses from the nearby track and they are fine looking creatures.

There is something magical about seeing these beauties up close after their morning routine. This is an Island of pure #Coastal Bohemians, where everyone soaks up the healing pale blue waters, including the horses. Be sure and set the alarm clock on your phone to get over and see the horses. You may even get a chance to pet these equine athletes and maybe if you're lucky you'll catch a glimpse of the sea turtles.

This is the Bay area of next to the Hilton.

These are the lounges they have at the beach off the parking lot of the Hilton. Nothing fancy and remember to bring your own towels from the property.

In this pic, I'm standing at the entrance to the beach on the Bay, in the parking lot of the Hilton .You can see it's very close and within walking distance. As you get to the opening you'll see Barbados Blue , the rental company that includes scuba tours and more.
