The area named Six Mens Bay, is located roughly one mile North of Speightstown, in the Parish of Saint Peter. The Six Mens Bay area is best known throughout the world, and on the island of Barbados for its controversial upscale marina development and port which goes by the name Port Saint Charles. Controversial through permanently damaging a once-pristine beach by cutting a deep, wide channel through it and depriving residents to the north of the marina beach access to Speightstown, the nearest town about 2 miles to the south. The local residents object too to the construction of the walled and gated community which makes it almost impossible to get to the beach from either end. Port St. Charles sells itself as a "private beach" project. There are no "private beaches" in Barbados. All beaches are open at all times - day and night - to the public.

As the name suggests, it is located on Six Men's Bay.
