Miami Beach, Barbados

It is located on the south coast of the island, with usually calm waters and brilliant sunset views.

On its north side is Enterprise Beach, a much more sheltered bay popular with families.

Each morning local seniors swim in the sea and exercise on the beach.

Action by the local authorities (Barbados Coastal Zone Management Unit (CZMU) and the National Conservation Commission (NCC) has successfully stopped the erosion and started a programme, which is currently allowing the beach to naturally heal itself.

Miami Beach is considered to be a "local hangout place" by those who live near it.
