The East coast beaches of Barbados on the Atlantic Ocean offer the biggest waves, but also for dangerous under water currents so swim at your own risk! Known worldwide for its fabulous surfing, for the ultimate Barbados surfing holiday Bathsheba is the place to go. Home of the famous "Soup Bowl", it's a hot spot for local and foreign surfers alike. With prime conditions year-round, surfing is one of our most popular sports on the island and the east coast is one of the most popular places to surf.
The east coast is sprinkled with some breathtaking rock formations on the land and natural rock pools for swimming, which are the only things that stand between Africa and us. Cattlewash, another popular east coast location, is home to many holiday homes for locals and foreigners alike. These houses tend to be rustic in nature and a true break from "town life"; for a perfect Caribbean sunrise, the east coast is a must.
Caution!
Bajans often say, "The sea ain't got no back door"! Although the Atlantic coastline is stunningly beautiful and the sea appears to be quite inviting, swimming is not recommended along this coast as there are dangerously strong under currents and no life guards on duty. Be sure to ask the locals from the area where the safe swimming areas are located.
