 Bamboo at work! by mazzap
In the blink of an eye he will prepare you a coconut - complete with straw. Drink the milk - then he will chop and section your coconut into chunks ready for you to eat and enjoy. It's a great snack!
When the coconuts are young they are green and the milk is not so sweet, but still good to drink. Also the flesh is soft until the outside husk of the nut turns brown. However you find it - it's lovely!
No fixed price - but hand him a few dollars and this guy is your best mate!
Oh, and he does a good line in sugarcane too! Another 'must try'! Leave a Comment

 Bathsheba, Barbados by mazzap
The strange water eroded rock formations that can be seen in the sea are actually rock that has broken away from ancient coral reef.
It is on the Atlantic side of the island, so is no good for swimming with its dangerous currents and cold water, but it's a quiet and pretty looking little town! Leave a Comment

 Hackleton by stiab3
According to legend, the cliff is named after a man who committed suicide by riding his horse off the cliff.
Naturally, this cliff offers one of the best views of Barbados' east coast. Bring along your camera!

 Hackleton's Cliff by stiab3
Hike Barbados takes you through cane fields, gullies, tropical forests and coastal communities to explore the unique geological and social structure of Barbados. The hikes are FREE but donations are welcome towards the work of the Barbados National Trust (preserving our built and natural environment) and Treading Lightly (problem-solving for sustainability).
These hikes go to some weird and wondeful places and there are normally on Sundays. There is usually a morning and an afternoon walk and they are 3 paces you can walk at fast (grin and bear), medium (here and there) or slow (stop and stare).
Once a month on the full moon they have a moonlight walk.

 Cove Bay by stiab3
The area is not easy to get to, often involving driving through a field maneuvering around several cows, sheep and goats. If you make the trek however, you will be rewarded by the beautiful scenery of the northern coastline and can enjoy the quiet calm under the swaying coconut trees.

Looking for an activity that you may not have tried before? Look no further than Kendal Sporting Club west of Six Cross Roads. A fabulous shooting club at the end of a very rough road through sugar cane and oil wells, Kendal is a well equipped shooting range for pistols and rifles. $75 BDS per person bought a box of shells and expert instruction for shooting sporting clays. Overall the shooting experience (fun and interesting) was one half hour for two people. No prior shooting experience necessary. I had never shot a rifle before and I managed to hit the clays(occasionally).
No need to be a member to shoot here. Also feel free to indulge in the free form pool or grab a bite to eat at their bar area or poolside. A very well maintained and tasteful club.
Reservations are required but you may call the day you want to shoot and check availability. Leave a Comment Phone: (246)437-5306Website: kendalsportingclaysbarbados.com

Enterprise Beach is frequented mainly by locals, has changing areas, and is beautiful.
It is just East of Oistins and is behind the local police station and court building.There is usually a policeman stationed there and your chance of being accosted by trinket hawkers is very low, so enjoy! Leave a Comment

 Farley Hill House by grandmaR
There was an admission fee when we were there. You can picnic on the grounds and it makes a wonderful site for a wedding. The 17 acre site is also used as a site for concerts.
The mansion was begun in 1818. It was rebuilt, and was used in the 1956 filming of "Island in the Sun" with Sidney Poitier. The mansion was subsequently destroyed by fire and has not been rebuilt.
In 1966 when Barbados became independent, Farley Hill was officially opened as a National Park by Queen Elizabeth II
About 10 mins drive from Bathsheba and the East Coast road heading in a northerly direction, opposite The Wildlife Reserve. Leave a Comment
