Ins & Outs of Barbados

July 17, 2023

Barbados has an excellent range of surf breaks. Surfline.com is a good website to get surfing information because apart from Soup Bowl which is pretty much surfable year round, most of the surf breaks in Barbados are seasonal.

Soup Bowl, Bathsheba, St. Joseph 

With pounding surf, ‘Soup Bowl’ is a famous surf break with local and international surfers.  Due  to   strong currents and heavy waves surfing here is for more advanced surfers. Round House serves breakfast, lunch or snacks and has a wonderful view. (Closed Monday in season with reduced openings in summer) 

Freights, Cotton House Bay, South Point, Christ Church

This famous surf spot is ideal for beginners - a great classroom. Most of the surf instructors begin their lessons here.

Brandons Hastings, Christ Church

This surf break is centrally located and very popular with young surfers and the young at heart who enjoy a quick early morning surf before work. There’s plenty of shade and parking. 

Things to do

From swimming with sea turtles, partying under the stars, exploring the rugged east coast to enjoying the island’s duty free shopping, Barbados has something for everyone.
