The Bathsheba Rock Pools

Exploring the Bathsheba rock pools on the East Coast of Barbados

The East Coast of Barbados is worlds away from bustling Bridgetown and the tourist-centric South Coast. It's an incredibly quiet town abounding with locals, and remains true to its roots of genuine Bajan charm.However, the Atlantic Ocean on the East Coast does not mirror its Caribbean counterpart of picturesque, calm turquoise waters... The coastline in Bathsheba is rough and uninviting to swimmers, with strong surf and an intimidating reef/coral bottom. Luckily, the rocky shores create a handful of nature-made pools for the timid swimmer like myself to still take a dip!
