Bathsheba Beach, Sand beach in Saint Joseph, Barbados
Bathsheba Beach is a sand beach along the Atlantic coast featuring white sand and large coral rock formations rising from shallow waters. Natural coral reefs shape the bay and create protected areas throughout the shoreline.
The beach has supported fishing communities since early settlement of Barbados and remains tied to traditional fishing practices. This connection to the sea and fishing has endured across generations.
The fishing tradition shapes daily life here, visible through boats coming and going and the work of local fishers throughout the day. The place remains a working center for this craft.
Swimming is limited to natural pools formed by coral reefs, as strong currents and waves make open water hazardous. Check conditions before entering the water and stay within the protected areas.
The beach is known for the Soup Bowl, a spot with consistent waves that draws surfers and hosts competitions throughout the year. This wave has turned the area into a hub for surfing.
