Saint James, Administrative parish on the western coast of Barbados.

Saint James extends across 31 square kilometers of coastal territory, featuring sandy beaches alongside residential and commercial developments.

The Holetown Festival in February presents local music, parades, fashion shows, and traditional Barbadian food throughout the streets.

The area contains numerous banking facilities, medical centers, shopping districts, and direct transportation connections to Bridgetown and northern parishes.

Saint James maintains three seats in the Parliament of Barbados, representing the interests of over 20,000 residents.
