The wild and breathtaking beach at Bathsheba on the east coast of the island will delight you with photogenic views and a dramatic coastline so different from the west and south of Barbados.

The beach is popular with surfers thanks to the high waves from the Atlantic. Those who aren't into water sports will enjoy the sight of the majestic chunks of rock jutting out of the water that are a hallmark of this beach.

Swimming and beach facilities

The beach The Soup Bowl is loosely connected to other beaches in the area. All of them are covered with fine light sand often mixed with algae. There may also be smaller pebbles around the rocks.

You won't find sunbed rentals, restaurants or shops on the beaches here. There are also no water sports stalls and surfers have to make do with their own equipment.
