This is the pure Caribbean, with white beaches, turquoise water, wind and waves, a vibrating night life, reggae and fun-loving locals.

Silver Sands at Christchurch is on the southern tip of the island. The windsurfing conditions are second to none, offering perfect waves for novices and experts alike. With its numerous different spots, warm water, and idyllic beaches, Barbados is the perfect choice.

Sailing Spot & Conditions

Silver Sands is one of the best spots for wave sailing. There are no limits to your sailing here with perfect conditions for both classic wave riding and for new moves.  A 1-2 meters deep reef 250 meters from the shore creates a clean wave for riding downwind. The wind varies between a constant cross-offshore or cross-onshore trade wind, which usually levels off between 15 to 25 knots in the peak season, between December and March. 

A long established windsurfing spot it is now popular for kitesurfers too. Perfect for wave novices and ambitious surfers, wind and kitesurfers. However, on most days the spot is unsuitable for windsurfing beginners or slalom riders.
