Things to Do

Located in the Parish of St. Phillip in Barbados, the Crane beach is truly something special. You simply can’t leave Barbados without a visit to this beautiful place. The sand is the whitest of whites and the ocean the bluest of blues. The beach is long and wide so you’ll often see locals and tourist playing beach soccer or cricket together and then jumping in the ocean to cool off afterwards.

There is also a decent wave to be surfed on the far side of the beach using the body boards that are available for hire. For those who like to relax, there are beach chairs with umbrellas that are managed by the locals and they will rent them to you for a very small fee, not too much to ask for a nice day in paradise, after all these guys are part of the character of this great beach and take care of it like it’s their own. Without a doubt, The Crane beach should be near the top of your beach list when you visit Barbados.

Need help finding the Crane?
For those staying on the south coast, the Crane is about a 15 minute drive and for those on the west coast, it is around 25-30 minutes drive. For further directions, give us a call at one of the numbers on the top right of this page and one of our friendly agents would be glad to assist you.

Have a great day!

Places to see in Barbados

Quite possibly the most beautiful place on earth? One can’t help but ask this question when they visit the shores of Bathsheba and gaze at its beauty; inhaling the fresh sea breeze while their eyes capture the rolling hills in the background, old fashioned houses and the white sandy beaches. Looking to the sea there is the large rock formations in the ocean, surfer’s enjoying the best wave in the Caribbean. Then a glance the other way and there’s locals fetching coconuts from the tree tops with in an art form that Spider Man would have struggled with.

Then as they try to come to terms with the purest forms of life unwinding before them, the locals fill their ears with kind welcoming “Bajan words” followed by sincere laughter and as their heart rate slows to match the pace of this gracious environment, their mind and soul begins to believe that only in this special place can you be overwhelmed yet relaxed at the same time, yes, overwhelmed with relaxation, this is real. Imagination has become a reality.

As they complete the answer to the question above, another one comes to their minds; where else would I rather be? They pause and search for more answers, but find nothing.

It’s at this point I say “Welcome to Bathsheba”.
