Carlisle Bay is a small natural harbour located in the southwest region of Barbados.

The island nation's capital, Bridgetown, is situated on this bay which has been turned into a marine park.

Carlisle Bay's marine park is a popular spot on the island for scuba diving.

Lord Carlisle claimed the island[1] through Royal grant on behalf of King Charles I of England in 1627.

A Dutch fleet led by Michiel de Ruyter during the Second Anglo-Dutch War was repelled by defending English forces in April 1665.
