Hewer Says: This is a quiet beach with fantastic blue waters and some nice waves. It looks like a swimming pool! I never saw more than about a dozen people here which is amazing. The beach is blocked off at the western end by a hotel so the limited access probably keeps the numbers...
SWFC_Fan Says: The main attraction in Worthing is its long, sandy beach and clear blue sea.Changing facilities and watersports are available at the end of the beach closest to St Lawrence Gap.Walking along the beach in the direction of Rockley, the beach becomes less crowded. Although...

1 Review and 147 Opinions I stayed at Blue Orchids Beach Hotel for a week in May 2005. The staff and service were great. They...
Hewer Says: This became my staple while I was in Barbados and it became difficult to walk past without nipping in for a quick roti. It is set back from the road and you'd almost miss it; it doesn't look very upmarket but the roti they do is excellent. Try it if you are in Worthing!Open...
The Lucky Horseshoe: Beer, snacks and live football.
SWFC_Fan Says: The Lucky Horseshoe Saloon and Steakhouse is open 24 hours a day.It serves a variety of food, from full English breakfasts to hot dogs, burgers, ribs, pizzas and, of course, steaks.It serves Banks beer on draught, as well as bottles of imported lager.The bar area, which is...
The Nelson's Arms: Pool, Roti and Folk Serenades
Hewer Says: This is a laid-back local bar and seemed to have a diehard core of hardened regulars. Most of the locals were up for a chat and one of the ladies there actually went home to get her guitar to play us a couple of songs. They have a couple of pool tables, serve good food and...
Absolut Bar: Cricket, Vodka and more Banks please!
Hewer Says: This place is little more than a hut with a nice paint job, but it suited our puposes quite nicely. I came here in a group as part of pub crawl of highway 7; the last pub before this is quite a way back and the cold beer was welcome ;-)There were only two guys in the bar...
Gabriel's Bar: Great Local Bar
Hewer Says: This was one of my favourite bars in Barbados. We stopped here midway through a pub crawl and this was the only bar we stopped at on the way back. It's a quiet pub and fairly small but they do have an outdoor balcony also. The bar staff are friendly and genuine folks, keen...
Players Sports Bar: Sports Watching
Hewer Says: This is a great bar to watch sports. Unlike other bars in the area, they don't charge admission and secondly, the place is fully air-conditioned. A good spot to enjoy a cool beer. No noisy slot machines either. Beers here are slightly more expensive than neighbouring bars...
Hewer Says: This place looked like a big old pub in an Australian country town. This is the first pub on the Worthing strip if you are coming from the city. There was a fair mix of locals and visitors, although because of the size of the place, it also attracts larger groups of...
Lucky Horseshoe: Steak, Slots, Sports
Hewer Says: This bar is well-known around Barbados. There is a steakhouse restaurant at the front and inside there are slot machines and several screens where you can watch sports. They actually have a schedule of what sports are on the big screen on their website (below). One thing I...

It's easy to get a bus to Worthing from Bridgetown. The terminal is located upriver from National Heroes' Square. Just follow Constitution River with the water on your right. It's about ten minutes from Nelson's Statue. There are dozens of buses there going to different parts of the island. The destinations are displayed on the front. Each bus has a driver and a spruiker/ticket collector and all of these will call out to you as you approach asking you where you are going. A bit chaotic but a lot of fun. The bus from Bridgetown to (anywhere else) costs BB$1.50.

Upon leaving Barbados, you will be charged a departure tax of 25 Barbados Dollars per person (approx GBP £7.50 at December 2004 exchange rates).
This tax must be paid in LOCAL CURRENCY at the time of checking in for your flight.
Note: you will still have to pay the departure tax even if you are only undertaking a daytrip to a neighbouring island and returning to Barbados the same day.

Favorite thing: Worthing's coastline isn't particularly long at only 2 km. There is some beautiful scenery though, whether it be along the beach or by the waterside properties heading towards Bridgetown. Every part of it is worth a second look.
This photo was taken from my bathroom window at the Blue Orchids Hotel ;-)

The beach resort of Worthing lies on the southern coast of Barbados between the airport and the capital, Bridgetown. Worthing's main attraction is its sandy, palm-fringed beach. The resort is very...
Worthing was my base when I stayed in Barbados. It is located about 4km from Bridgetown in the south-west of the island, and is based around a strip of shops and restaurants on Highway 7, which...
