Theses are my favourite spots go relax and waste the day away. Something about the coolness of the air, which is therapeutic to both body and soul. Pack a cooler of beers or a bottle of wine and enjoy the East Coast.
There are lots to see when visiting the East Coast. You may capture a few surfers riding the waves, enjoy the quaint beach houses along Cattle Wash or consider having lunch at Round House. Check out these other great sites: Andromeda Gardens, Animal Flower Cave, Barbados Wildlife Reserve, Barclays Park, Chalky Mount and the Flower Forest.

Farley Hill
At this national park in northern St. Peter, across the road from the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, the imposing ruins of a plantation great house are surrounded by gardens and lawns, along with an avenue of towering royal palms and gigantic mahogany, whitewood, and casuarina trees. Partially rebuilt for the filming of Island in the Sun, the classic 1957 film starring Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge, the structure was later destroyed by fire. Behind the estate, there's a sweeping view of the region called Scotland for its rugged landscape. COST: $1.50 per car; walkers free. Daily 8:30-6. |

Cherry Tree Hill
Approximately 850 feet above sea-level, this spot offers an excellent view (see photo) of the "Scotland District" which covers the parish of St.Andrew and is named after the Patron Saint of Scotland.
It is believed that the name "Cherry Tree Hill" originated from the large number of cherry trees which once existed on this hill.
Today the road is lined with mahogany trees, which were introduced into Barbados after the Treaty of Paris in 1763.

Bathsheba
Bathsheba is a stretch of Atlantic coast, which is mesmerizing. You may catch some surfers at the infamous 'Soup Bowl' where we have competitions in late November. This untouched beauty is both beautiful and private. I do advise to be careful when venturing into the water. The current is rather strong, stay close to shore. For couple I do advise this for some serene. There are facilities, restaurants, rum shops and parks. This is one of my favourite places. Four stars |
