Bathsheba

This small fishing village located on the east coast is home to the Soup Bowl, a prime spot for surfing in the Caribbean. On the shore you’ll find huge ancient coral rocks and foamy waves rolling in creating some great photo ops. There are also some shallow pools naturally made of coral rocks near the shore which are great for chilling and are locally known as “Barbados’ answer to a hot tub”. This beach had strong rip tides and undertows so swimming is not recommended. There are also plenty of local bars and restaurants right on the beach. Be sure to grab a meal of some fresh fish and have a Banks beer during your visit.
