East Coast of Barbados





The East coast of Barbados is one of the windsurfing capitals of the Caribbean.
The surf on the East coast is suitable for experienced surfers only.


Barbados is the most Easterly of all of the Caribbean Islands, it is the first to receive the Atlantic Ocean's swell, which crashes on shore on the Northern and Eastern coast.

When choosing your beach remember that the surf on the Northern and Eastern coast is very rough. These beaches are best suited for walking and beach combing.

There are not many good places to swim along this coast, but as the waves break over rocks and reefs, small pools are formed close to shore, creating natural swimming pools

The " Soup Bowl" located at Bathsheba is the surfer's choice, while the East Coast Road is a popular picnic spot.

Cattlewash offers a breathtaking landscape. With the constant washing from the Atlantic Ocean the East Coast is the perfect place for beach combing.
