Foul Bay beach is located on the southeast coast of Barbados, close to the villages of Foul Bay and adjoining The Crane.
Foul Bay Beach is used for excursions, picnics, weddings ceremonies and receptions by locals and visitors to the island.
Up to the mid-1950s fishermen used to sell their catch on Foul Bay Beach. The fish was de-scaled and gutted on the spot. The smell was foul, hence the name.
As the local government developed the fishing industry, designated fish markets (Fisheries Complex) were set up in Oistins, Speightstown and Bridgetown. Foul Bay beach was cleaned by the National Conservation Commission and returned to its natural beauty. The beach is maintained and cleaned daily by a team from the National Conservation Commission who removes leaves and the occasional seaweed and litter from the beach.
