Holetown is a small town located in the Caribbean island nation of Barbados. Holetown is located in the parish of St. James on the sheltered west coast of the island. In 1625 , Holetown (formerly as St. James Town) was the site of initial English settlement of Barbados (although Captain Cataline haf previously landed to collect water in 1620). The envoy (led by John Powell) was blown off course from South America to England & took the opportunity to claim the island for the Kingdom of England. Some personal possessions were left behind & the crew departed Holetown for England.
Paynes Bay St James Barbados
Paynes Bay sometimes called the Platinum Coast is locatee on the west coast of Barbados. Many locals believe that it is one of the island's best swimming beaches for both the calm seas of the Caribbean (in comparison to the strong south or east coast surf) and the colorful neighborhood. In recent years , Paynes Bay has experienced significant development , most recently by various foreign speculators who are in the process of constructong condominiums along the bay.

Barbados - from Dawn Until Sunset : The Crane, Bathsheba, Platinum Coast & Island Tour
A short film of our recent holidays to Barbados in 2016/2017. A simulated day from Dawn until Dusk - taking in the best of Barbados. A truly stunning island - so welcoming, fun and friendly - we just want to go back.
Starting at sunrise on Crane Beach - we watch as the sun rises and warms up the day, and the early beach dwellers, before exploring the grounds of the historic (The) Crane hotel. In complete contrast, next we make a visit to the Buccaneer Sam Lord's derelict Castle and it's pair of beaches to admire the surging tide.
Unlike it's name, the glorious Foul Bay is next, with it's long and wide golden beach before we move to the picture postcard beauty of Bottom Bay - swaying palms, azure sea and pounding surf.
A quick pitstop at Sunbury Plantation House before we move to Hastings and a walk along The Boardwalk. Next up, we visit Bridgetown for a stroll around the shops.
We next find ourselves at the Garrison Historic Area and the Garrison Savannah horse racing venue - where we study the form and win a few dollars. Once over, we move over to the George Washington House - where we learn about his visit to Barbados - and move through the tunnels beneath.
A quick visit to Carlisle Bay for beach games and wine at The Barbados Cruising Club before we visit the historic defences at Needhams Point.
After some beautiful 'best-of' scenes - we move to the rugged, unspoilt Eastern coast of Barbados, and the parish of St Andrew. Here we pass the windswept, desolate beaches of the east as we make our way to the jewel of the East Coast : Bathsheba, in St Joseph. Here we see the worn flanks of the rock formations that have been eroded by the waves. A glorious view.
We move back up the coast, past the Morgan Lewis Windmill, to the view from Cherry Tree Hill - a splendid view across all of the East Coast - before continuing north into St Lucy and a visit to Archers Bay and the Cliffs at the Animal Flower Cave.
Next, we visit Folkestone Marine Park and stroll along the beach towards Holetown - skipping between the waves as the tide teases the shore.
A shady afternoon visit to the beautiful Hunte's Gardens keeps us cool as we admire his collection of plants cultivated in a large sink hole. A quick beer with Anthony Hunte (and his dog) - before we move on.
The classic palm tree, golden sand and Caribbean surf awaits as we visit St Peter's Bay before taking in some views of Cobblers Cove as we approach Speightstown - and beyond to Port St Charles and Heywoods Beach.
A quick cooling trip through the beautiful flora and fauna of Welchman Hall Gully is next - a lovely walk through palms, bamboo and vines - before returning to the Platinum Coast for sunset and wine.
Magical.
This is a small film by The Cobbie made on his phone. I hope you enjoy my view of the island. Original Soundtrack Some Bajan Dawn - Written & Performed by The Cobbie: Apple Logic & Korg Trinity Pro x. No Loops.

Oracabessa Bay Fish Sanctuary, Restored Staghorn Coral Thicket
Note: there was NO staghorn on this site in 2012.
the OBFS is a fisherman-run fish sanctuary on the Jamaican north coast in the parish of St. Mary. In 2009 we harvested about 150 fragments from the two (2!!!) remaining staghorn corals in the entire bay and started propagating them. Through 2013 and into 2014 the OBFS's coral gardening crew out-planted their 3800th coral from this initial harvest into the site you can see here. Barring hurricane or other drama, we expect full thicket development within the next 12months. Don't worry the gardeners collected that plastic bag a few seconds later.
