Bathsheba Beach

Picturesque Bathsheba Beach on Barbados’ East Coast is famous for its iconic cliffs and rocks – and the Soup Bowl, a popular surfer’s spot. This beach is not the perfect place for a swim, but the gorgeous view on the wild sea quickly makes up for that. It is only a 30-min car drive away from Bridgetown.

Shark Hole Beach

Shark Hole Beach is a unique experience when travelling to Barbados. It is hidden by Long Bay on the southeastern coast of the island and located near Sam Lord’s Castle. The current has formed a spoon type funnel, protected by barrier reef coves. As popular this spot is on weekends, you may find it nearly deserted on weekday mornings. However, the strong undercurrents outside Shark Hole are not to be underestimated.
