Barbados has great waves all over the island.

Freights Bay is a great Longboard and beginner wave. Located just 2 blocks from the house.

South Point is a fun, reef break. It has a left and right break and is best for Intermediate and advanced surfers. Take caution entering and exiting the water - the rocks are sharp and it can be tricky. Located approx. 3 blocks south and 1 block east of the house - it’s an easy walk.

Brandons (also known as Drill Hall) is a 25-minute drive from the house. This break is a super fun reef break that works for beginner through advanced surfers depending on the conditions.

Soup Bowls is Barbados' top surf break, loved by Kelly Slater, with steep right-handers and rocky, reef bottom (watch for urchins). Located on the East Coast of Barbados, it is a heavy right-hand wave that breaks in about 7 feet of water on a rock shelf. It’s best for intermediate to advanced surfers.

Barbados has the most amazing beaches and attractions. We dare you to find a beach you don’t enjoy.

Miami Beach is located near Oistins on your way back toward town. You can walk to this beach if you follow the road along Freight’s Bay - it’s a 15-minute walk. This beach has beautiful sand, lovely trees that provide shade, bathrooms, and a food truck that serves cold drinks and good fish cutters (sandwiches).

Worthing Beach, heading west just past St. Lawrence Gap, is a great little beach. It is shallow and often protected from south swell by a barrier reef. You can rent chairs on this beach and we highly recommend The Seafood Shack for lunch.

Carlise Bay is a beautiful sandy beach. There isn’t much shade here so we recommend renting an umbrella and bringing your sunblock. We love to swim about 250 yards off the beach and snorkel the shipwrecks. They are amazing - lots of fish and turtles.

All of the beaches on the West Coast are gorgeous and open to the public. Some of our favorites are Batt’s Rock, Gibb’s Bay, Payne’s Bay, and Sandy Lane are all beautiful.

So many good restaurants… so little time. We recommend making a reservation as often as possible, especially during the busy holiday season.

We prefer casual and low-key restaurants on the south coast. Some local favorites include:

Surfers Cafe consistently offers great food. We love their breakfast but we also visit for dinner, especially on Thursday nights for reggae night.

Salt Cafe is one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. There is something for everyone on their menu. Do not miss the brownie ice cream dessert - it is Ah-mazing!

Worthing Plaza is a collection of 20 different food truck pop-ups gathered in an outdoor square complete with string lights and picnic tables. Cafe Sol

Cafe Sol is always a winner for their famous 'Tex-Mex' dishes, massive margarita list, and fun atmosphere.

Blakey’s is a casual restaurant and bar, with lots of island atmosphere, located on the south coast boardwalk in Hastings. With its indoor and outdoor seating and great sea views, Blakey’s is the perfect spot to relax with family and friends.

Surfers Bay - This super casual beach bar has good food and great vibes. It’s great spot for happy hour drinks and dinner.
