You can get to Bathsheba from Holetown quite easily. Take the bus to Speightstown and then from Speightstown to Bathsheba (9am from Speightstown). They are really cheap and you get to see lots of locals this way.

Beach at Paynes Bay

The rastas at Paynes Bay may offer you "smoke or coke". Once you refuse they will not hassle you again. The rastas seemed like good guys. There is a nice coral reef just off the shore at Paynes Bay where i swam with turtles, squid, and lots of amazing tropical fish. You may also get offered some natural aloe vera plant for your sunburn. I got some quite cheap on the beach and it was good stuff.

Unique Suggestions: Paynes Bay beach is next to Sandy Lane beach. The vibe is easy going and down to earth. Best coral reef is at Folkestone Park at the other side of Holetown
