Bathsheba Beach

Calm & Peaceful

Bathsheba is the main destination on the east coast although there’s no real ‘there" here as things are scattered along about 1 mile of sandy, wave-tossed shore and in the hills immediately behind. This is prime surfing country. It’s also good for long beach walks as you contemplate feeling you’ve reached the end of the world. At the south end of Bathsheba’s beach, reefs afford enough protection for limited swimming. Note the iconic ‘Mushroom Rock’, one of several rocks carved into shapes that will cause mycologists to swoon.

At night, it’s very quiet here. For excitement there are the lyrical croaks of whistling frogs and the flash of fireflies.


A taxi can be negotiated for about B$60 from Bridgetown or the south coast, or catch one of the regular buses from Bridgetown that travel Highways 2 and 3. The trip takes about 45 minutes.
