I have not been there as of yet, so I'm not sure which is best, What I have found out is they are all nice. Since your on a time restriction, I would suggest the closest beach to port. It may have more people at it but you wont be far from the ship.
We will be going here as a group. It's an all day beach bash at The Boatyard! Relax on a beach chair under the umbrellas or indulge in some of the many water sports available including snorkeling, scuba diving, beach volleyball, kayaks, pedal boats and ocean trampolines!
Port is in Bridgetown
Barbados Maps
Barbados is a relatively flat island, shaped somewhat like an upside-down leg of ham, narrow at its northern end, its west coast relatively straight, and its east coast gently curving outwards before bending back to form the south.
There are beaches everywhere. Along the East coast they are wide and wind-blown. Here the shore is pounded by the Atlantic making it a delight for the surfers who come from all over the world.
On the calmer South and West coasts, you may walk for miles along unbroken white sand beaches, sometimes stopping at a cluster of coral rocks jutting out to sea. All along the shore large and small beaches are broken by coral formations, the soft coral rocks weathered by the ocean surf, forming abstract sculptures pleasing to an artist's eye.
In the North, coral and sandstone cliffs rise straight out of the sea reaching up to a hundred feet in height. But even here, you’ll find the occasional sheltered cove.
Hope this helps and I would love to hear about your visit here when you return
