Culpepper Island

Barbados, Barbados

---

Culpepper Island is a tiny, uninhabited rocky islet off Barbados' southeastern Atlantic coast in Saint Philip Parish, near Ragged Point, Skeetes Bay, and Bayfield, measuring about 220 feet long by 75 feet wide and rising roughly 20 feet above sea level with low cliffs, grass, and some wooded areas.

Just 30-40 meters from shore in a bay, it can be reached by swimming at low tide, though strong currents and waves make it risky, so viewing from nearby cliffs or Ragged Point is safer for appreciating its secluded charm amid coral rock formations and scenic coastal vistas.

The pocket-sized island offers a sense of isolation with potential for snorkeling or kayaking from adjacent spots, blending into the rugged landscape that resembles Cornish shores, accessible via walks or drives through nearby pastures and villages.
