Things to Do  

Beach Photraghpy at Bathseba

Beach Photraghpy at Bathseba, Bathsheba

 JREllison Says:  The east coast of Barbados is swept by the Alantic Ocean and is much more rugged than the Cirabbean side. The waves and winds and the tropical plants have created some great settings for photography. We were on a island bus tour so did not stay overnight but there are a... 

Andromeda Botanic Gardens

Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Bathsheba

 grandmaR Says:  Andromeda was developed in 1954 by the late horticulturist Iris Bannochie for her weekend retreat. It soon became a memorable garden and she opened it to the public. She left the property to the National Trust in 1988. It is named for the Greek goddess Andromeda who was... 

Get A Bottle of Bajan Rum

Get A Bottle of Bajan Rum, Bathsheba

 4tun81 Says:  If you like good liquor, get a bottle of Bajan rum. I think Mount Gay rum is the best. I don't like drinking liquor straight, but Mount Gay is so smooth that I can. In small doses, though. It can kick your rear in major ways--it's very powerful.Rum, I've heard, actually...

RoundHouse Inn at Bathsheba: Great Tuna Steaks at the RoundHouse in Bathsheba, Bathsheba

 4tun81 Says:  When you visit Bathsheba, stop at the RoundHouse Inn restaurant. You won't leave hungry!Starting with breakfast...the ham and cheese omelets have so many eggs in them, and so much ham and cheese, you'll worry about your cholesterol....much later! And the coffee is so strong,... 

Round House Inn Restaurant and Bar: Live Music

Round House Inn Restaurant and Bar: Live Music, Bathsheba

 grandmaR Says:  We walked from the Edgewater around to this place which is both a restaurant and a hotel. It is round, hence the name. They had live music and it was pretty good. The food was good, but I don't remember exactly what we had. A review from...

Sea Side Bar: Great view!, Bathsheba

 Gillybob Says:  I wasn't sure where to list this bar but decided nightlife would be the best.This rum shack next to the manicured lawns area of Bathsheba (where most of the tourist buses will stop) is a great place to drink your Banks - at any time. The locals are friendly and the staff can...

Driving Here Is Not For Normal Drivers

Driving Here Is Not For Normal Drivers, Bathsheba

 4tun81 Says:  Bajans, like many other Caribbean people, drive on the left, as is the British custom. ALWAYS remember that.The "national speed limit" is 30 mph--supposedly. That's actually the speed at which Bajan drivers start hitting chickens crossing the road. 60 mph is more like it.The... 

Shopping  

Local 'market': Tourist Traps

Local 'market': Tourist Traps, Bathsheba

 Gillybob Says:  Where all the tourist operated coaches stop, you will find plenty of stalls selling all sorts of tourist wares. They all offer similar goods to those found all around the island but are clearly there for tourist coach tours only. Prices are nothing special and neither are... 

Local Customs  

If You Smoke...Quit Before You Go

If You Smoke...Quit Before You Go, Bathsheba

 4tun81 Says:  Most Bajan restaurants either don't like any kind of smoking, or outright forbid it. My boyfriend likes to smoke cigars sometimes, and he thought it would be okay to smoke a cigar in the RoundHouse restaurant after dinner. Our waitress, using that Bajan charm of hers, asked... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

The waves

The waves, Bathsheba

 mocca Says:  Well, if you have read the intro, you can guess what the dangers here are: rips, heavy waves and reef. Don't take this wave lightly, especially with no or offshore wind when it will throw it's power

Bajans Are Great--But Don't Tempt Anyone, Bathsheba

 4tun81 Says:  Since I'm a professional photographer, I carried my best equipment to Barbados. I felt safe keeping it in the room, and didn't really feel a need to keep it in the hotel safe. However, someone warned me, "Bajans are very honest people, but don't tempt them by keeping your...

 FreeCloud Says:  Go to Bathsheba, the middle east part of the island. Many people body surfing at the bay here. The Round Roof Inn restaurant has decent yet simple food, we loved the 'breadfruit' soup. You sit high above at the terrace of the restaurant, the ocean breeze blows your hair,...

 grandmaR Says:  We stayed in the area in 1996 at the time of the surfing competition in November. The coast was beautiful. There are long shallow approaches to the beach so there is a long stretch for the rollers of the ocean to turn into surf. In 2006, we drove through Bathsheba - the...
