50 Most Beautiful Places in the World | Condé Nast Traveler
"Rugged, wild, and untouched, Bathsheba Beach may be the star attraction of Barbados—and unlike many of the island’s pool clubs, this stretch of sand doesn't require a membership fee. Photographers and surfers flock here to catch the best waves and snap some shots of the beach's huge boulders. It's not an ideal place for swimming, but that shouldn’t stop you from lounging on the shoreline for a few hours." - Caitlin Morton
"Take a Stroll to Nowhere in Barbados Too often us intrepid experiential travelers can get caught up in the whole effort of trying to do it all. "I must explore this off-the-map place!" "I have to try this exotic dish!" It's easy to forget that sometimes the best way to get to know a place is to simply stroll aimlessly. Luckily, Barbados makes it an attractive prospect."

Such a cool beach!! The roads getting here are quite steep but the beach itself is a great location to surf and explore for shells.

Bathsheba is a very scenic village on the rugged east coast of Barbados. It's coastline is beautiful with dramatic rock formations that makes it's beauty stand out. Great surfing beach but it's not safe for swimming. Bathsheba views are amazing. The most famous rock formation is the Soup Bowl while others may look like dragon heads covered in scales. The Roundhouse restaurant in Bathsheba offers fantastic views of the coastline and some of the rock formations. The food and drinks are good. Great outdoor deck for sitting and enjoying the gorgeous views. Strongly recommend a visit. Most taxi cabs will drive you there.

One of the most charming points of the island. We could not swim as the waves were high, but we had great time just by chilling in the park.
Really worth the visit!

A nice beach to visit if passing, but not one you'd choose to go out of your way to relax on - very rocky and rough seas. There's a restaurant, shop, and toilet facilities nearby.

Bathsheba and the "Soup bowl" on the stunning Atlantic East coast of Barbados. If you're a surfer, then this is one of the best spots in the world 🌍

That's the eastern part of the island, the ocean site, famous spot for surfing. Absolutely beautiful. A must see and visit.

Easily my most favorite coastal destination in Barbados. We spent a good half hour here wandering the beach. Large rocks jutting out of the ocean is just otherworldly.
Very quiet, not a lot of people around at the time.
A lot of sargassum seaweed though. It does have a bit of a smell and it’s thick and attracts bugs. But otherwise adds a bit of color and extra beauty to the scenery. I can only imagine what this beach would look like with none of the seaweed!
