Lying on the verandah of my hotel the crash of the Atlantic Ocean waves is constant. The view both ways along the coastline shows white-topped waves smashing into the boulders and beaches. This is Bathsheba on the East coast of Barbados and it’s not visited by many tourists.
In the late afternoon there were more people surfing that sitting on the beach. The waves are gradually eroding many of the rocks that sit proudly on the shoreline and the water has created spectacular sculptures for photographers. With palm trees along the coast and an absence of large-scale development Bathsheba is an ideal relaxation stop for the busy traveller. It’s also close to the exceptional Andromeda Botanical Gardens, which are up the hill from the blue-coloured community centre. These are beautiful gardens with views down to the Atlantic. The Round House Inn is also recommended for its tasty meals with ample portions for the hungry.

Bathsheba is a special place indeed.
Recommend interested persons read “Facing North Tales from Bathsheba.”
