Bathsheba
A fishing village on the wild Atlantic east coast, where mushroom-shaped coral boulders stand in the surf. The Soup Bowl surf break is world-class.
Bathsheba sits on the wild east coast. Mushroom-shaped coral boulders, sculpted by the pounding waves, are the island’s most iconic scenery. The Soup Bowl is a world-famous surf break and often hosts international competitions. Currents here are strong, so swimming is not advised. At low tide, however, natural shallow rock pools between the reefs can be enjoyed. Seaside cafés serve flying fish sandwiches, and you can combine a visit with Andromeda Gardens and Cherry Tree Hill. It is about 40 minutes’ drive from Bridgetown.
