Why go
The contrast between Bathsheba's rocky shore and the powerful Atlantic makes this village feel different from Barbados's calmer west coast beaches. Watch surfers at the Soup Bowl, then follow the bay past coconut trees and the large boulders standing in the water. The village's small shops and bars give you a place to pause after looking along the coast.
What to look for
- Surfers ride the Atlantic swell at the Soup Bowl.
- Large boulders stand just offshore from Bathsheba Beach.
- Coconut trees line parts of the bay beside the village.
Useful to know
- Treat the shore as a place to watch the surf; the rough water is generally unsuitable for an average swimmer.
- Combine a coastal stop with Andromeda Botanic Gardens nearby.
