Folkestone Marine Park and Museum

The marine park features an interpretive center with exhibits about coastal environments, marine life displays, and recreational facilities along the beach front.

The establishment of Folkestone Marine Park in the late 20th century marked a turning point in Barbados' commitment to marine conservation and education.

The museum section presents detailed information about local fishing traditions and maritime practices that have sustained Barbadian communities for generations.

Visitors can rent snorkeling equipment at the facility to explore the underwater exhibits, including a sunken barge that attracts numerous fish species.

The park contains specific zones for different activities, including an artificial reef created from a deliberately submerged vessel to support marine biodiversity.
