Here's the sea at Barra. The water can vary during the day -- typically like a mill pond in the morning before livening up later in the day. Conditions also vary at different points along the beach. Close to the reef, at the lighthouse, and also adjacent to Barra Lodge, the surf can get quite strong.  People even get their surfboards out  if the swell is particularly lively.

Other parts of the beach are soft and gentle -- perfect for toddlers to splash about it.
