Barbados - from Dawn Until Sunset : The Crane, Bathsheba, Platinum Coast & Island Tour
A short film of our recent holidays to Barbados in 2016/2017. A simulated day from Dawn until Dusk - taking in the best of Barbados. A truly stunning island - so welcoming, fun and friendly - we just want to go back.
Starting at sunrise on Crane Beach - we watch as the sun rises and warms up the day, and the early beach dwellers, before exploring the grounds of the historic (The) Crane hotel. In complete contrast, next we make a visit to the Buccaneer Sam Lord's derelict Castle and it's pair of beaches to admire the surging tide.
Unlike it's name, the glorious Foul Bay is next, with it's long and wide golden beach before we move to the picture postcard beauty of Bottom Bay - swaying palms, azure sea and pounding surf.
A quick pitstop at Sunbury Plantation House before we move to Hastings and a walk along The Boardwalk. Next up, we visit Bridgetown for a stroll around the shops.
We next find ourselves at the Garrison Historic Area and the Garrison Savannah horse racing venue - where we study the form and win a few dollars. Once over, we move over to the George Washington House - where we learn about his visit to Barbados - and move through the tunnels beneath.
A quick visit to Carlisle Bay for beach games and wine at The Barbados Cruising Club before we visit the historic defences at Needhams Point.
After some beautiful 'best-of' scenes - we move to the rugged, unspoilt Eastern coast of Barbados, and the parish of St Andrew. Here we pass the windswept, desolate beaches of the east as we make our way to the jewel of the East Coast : Bathsheba, in St Joseph. Here we see the worn flanks of the rock formations that have been eroded by the waves. A glorious view.
We move back up the coast, past the Morgan Lewis Windmill, to the view from Cherry Tree Hill - a splendid view across all of the East Coast - before continuing north into St Lucy and a visit to Archers Bay and the Cliffs at the Animal Flower Cave.
Next, we visit Folkestone Marine Park and stroll along the beach towards Holetown - skipping between the waves as the tide teases the shore.
A shady afternoon visit to the beautiful Hunte's Gardens keeps us cool as we admire his collection of plants cultivated in a large sink hole. A quick beer with Anthony Hunte (and his dog) - before we move on.
The classic palm tree, golden sand and Caribbean surf awaits as we visit St Peter's Bay before taking in some views of Cobblers Cove as we approach Speightstown - and beyond to Port St Charles and Heywoods Beach.
A quick cooling trip through the beautiful flora and fauna of Welchman Hall Gully is next - a lovely walk through palms, bamboo and vines - before returning to the Platinum Coast for sunset and wine.
Magical.
This is a small film by The Cobbie made on his phone. I hope you enjoy my view of the island. Original Soundtrack Some Bajan Dawn - Written & Performed by The Cobbie: Apple Logic & Korg Trinity Pro x. No Loops.

2022 01 06 - BARBADOS - BATHSHEBA
Barbados’ wild Atlantic coast seems a world away from the glitzy resorts of the west and it is here that you’ll find Bathsheba, the main fishing village in Saint-Joseph parish. The dramatic east coast scenery, low-key atmosphere and windswept beaches make it quite the contrast to more popular regions of Barbados, but a great place to relax and unwind, surf, take long beach walks and enjoy the local lifestyle. A long stretch of golden sand runs along the coast, there are several small churches to visit, botanical gardens, rainforest nature trails and look out points that offer views across the island.
The Crane Barbados
The east coast of Barbados is a real natural beauty with magnificent beaches, rugged hills and amazing rock formations - the perfect place for your Barbados holiday. A stay at the Crane Residential Resort compliments these gorgeous surroundings with sensational views from a luxurious setting. Located on one of the world’s best beaches you can relax and indulge to your hearts content on the flawless powder sands of Crane Beach Barbados. It's no wonder this resort has received accolades such as ‘Top 50 Places to go Before You Die’ and Crane Beach declared as one of the ‘10 Best Beaches in the World.’

Bathsheba, Barbados / Батшеба, Барбадос
Best of Barbados for All Budgets
Get more Tips here!
Barbados is generally considered more of an upscale holiday spot than a budget travel destination. However, there’s a flip side to the island that can appeal to those without money to burn. So here are 10 contrasting choices of what to see and do in this Caribbean paradise.
1. West Coast of Barbados
Known as the “Platinum Coast”. This is where you’ll find ultra-chic establishments like Sandy Lane and The Cliff. In Holetown you’ll find the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre, an upscale shopping, dining and entertainment complex featuring top luxury brands.
2. East Coast of Barbados
The expansive strip along Cattlewash to Bathsheba is essentially undeveloped and unspoiled. You can walk for miles and rarely see another soul. It is an experienced surfer’s dream. Pack a picnic or have a bite at the historic Round House. It’s well worth the 20-30 minute drive.
3. Harrison’s Cave
Take a trolley tour deep underground through the crystallized limestone caverns. The tram makes a few stops so you get up close to the running streams and reflective pools. Harrison’s Cave also offers more adventurous subterranean tours.
4. Animal Flower Cave
A completely different (and cheaper!) cave experience. It’s not as deep and vast as Harrison’s Cave, but it’s equally as impressive in its own right. Take a dip in the indoor pool or check out the rock formations.
5. Cricket
Cricket is considered the national sport of Barbados. Even if you don’t know much about the game, its a worthy local experience. You’ll see casual games being played in community fields, beaches and streets all over the island.
6. Fine Dining
Barbados is a diner’s paradise. Popular favorites include Cin Cin, Champers, Daphne’s, Tapas and Zen, which cover a range of eclectic cuisines from all over the world. Their food is enhanced by the ocean-side setting, making every meal out a special occasion.
7. Fish Fry
On the other end of the spectrum is the traditional Bajan fish fry, where you can enjoy casual seafood and tasty side dishes in a fun yet relaxed atmosphere. The town of Oistins is the place to go on Friday or Saturday nights, it’s like dinner and a show, with an authentic local flavor.
8. Catamaran Sail
It is well worth a splurge. You can sun on the deck, sip a rum punch or two, enjoy a tasty Bajan buffet, and have a few dips in the Caribbean Sea. Most of the catamarans make a few stops so you can snorkel over shipwrecks and come face to face with the turtles.
9. Kite Surfing
The waves and breezes around Silver Sands are the place to go, and you’ll often see more than a few boarders flying along the waves. Try De Action Man to rent equipment and have a lesson down there. So if you’re in the mood for an exhilarating adventure when in Barbados, give kite surfing a go.
10. Stand Up Paddling
You may get wet in the beginner stage, but once you find your balance you’ll be good to go. Paddle hard for a core workout, ride a few waves, or take it easy with some gentle strokes. It’s like you’re walking on water, but if you lose your center you might end up literally soaking in the scenery.
