Barnacle Bay is by far the city with the deepest connection to the sea and to pirates,. theThe city features four default Beaches,[[beach]]es. theThe Sims'new clothing and personalities introduced are also outdoor-like, and many Sims havepossess the [[Angler]] trait.

The town is set after ''[[The Sims 2]]'', sinceas the [[Caliente family|Caliente sisters]] have moved away from [[Pleasantview]] to Barnacle Bay, which is confirmed by Dina's biography: ''"The Sims 2 Sisters are back! Can Dina break hearts in Barnacle Bay like she did in Pleasantview? She wants to find out."''

An EA technical support representative mentioned 1650 as well, but stated that it was not certain, as shown in the image on the right.

*In an [http://www.ign.com/ IGN] interview with [[EA]] they refer to Barnacle Bay as an "expansion", though this term is incorrect, as it is merely a downloadable neighborhoodworld similar to [[Riverview]]<ref name="ign q&a" />

* On 1 January 1, 2011 Barnacle Bay was the daily deal from The Sims 3 Store and was discounted to 1111 SimPoints. On 22 May 22, 2011 it was the daily deal again and was discounted to 1050 SimPoints.

* Barnacle Bay was also released in stores, costing $14. The box contains a slip with a code that players can use at The Sims 3 Store to download the town and two sets.<ref name="simprograms">[http://www.simprograms.com/28624/so-i-bought-sims-3-barnacle-bay/]</ref>

* The graveyards on Barnacle Bay don't have ponds. Deathfish are found at the large beach across from the art galleygallery beside the pier posts.
