Bathsheba is a popular place for tourists and Barbadians. Along its rugged coastline this small resort has particular rock formations that rest, balancing on the waves. This natural curiosity has maintained a sense of mystery… 

In this area of the island nicknamed the Soup Bowl, it is not advisable to venture into the waters. Atlantic waves make swimming difficult. If you are, on the other hand, a lover of surfing then you've found the perfect spot! Local and international competitions are also held regularly on this beach.

Amongst the characteristic rocks of Bathsheba Beach, Bathsheba Rock in particular is undoubtedly one that will attract your curiosity. Today this old rock formation that broke from an ancient coral reef is covered with vegetation and appears to be balanced on the beach, washed by the waves.

The entire coastline of this area has seen these rocks break, which have since stood there, creating in different places natural rock pools, that prove very popular with bathers who come to relax for hours. According to an old legend, the waters of Bathsheba, rich in minerals can be good for the health and beauty of the body.
