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.

Barbados Map From 2004/2005
Map of Barbados from 2004/2005
Barbados Insight Flexi Map on Amazon: (2004 edition); (2010 edition)
This Insight FlexiMap of Barbados is the best maps of the island that I've ever seen. It is made of high quality plastic-type material that make it water resistant and less likely to get ripped. It was published in 2004/2005 and cost about $11 U.S.
One side shows a map of the whole island, with local highways, roads, paths, towns, and communities. On the other side are 5 smaller maps- a small map of the entire Caribbean, showing the location of Barbados in the region; a map of Barbados' West Coast; a map of Bridgetown and surrounding areas; a map of the South Coast; and a map of the Garrison area.
There is also some tourist information- info about transportation, local currency, and attractions like beaches, shopping, natural wonders, and cultural highlights.
Barbados is located in the Lesser Antilles / Eastern Caribbean region of the Caribbean islands / West Indies. It is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands and lies a few miles west of the main island chain. Many of the Caribbean islands are volcanic, but Barbados is mostly made of coral. The island's beautiful white sand beaches are made up of coral fragments. The island isn't very big. It is smaller than major cities like London, or New York City, and even Toronto. But it is densely populated, with a population of almost 280,000. One thing you'll notice if you travel around the island are houses everywhere, and new housing always being built. In Southern Ontario there's a sharp division between urban (or suburban) and rural areas. For example, in 1 of my videos you can see how the built up suburban area suddenly ends and turns into farmland on the border of the cities of Mississauga and Brampton just west of Toronto. But many areas of Barbados have a mix of suburban and rural features. The rural areas have lots of housing (unlike the much emptier rural areas of Canada that have big farms and not many people), and even residential urban or suburban areas around Bridgetown have farm animals like chickens, pigs, sheep, and cows around.
The eastern coast of Barbados faces the open Atlantic Ocean, so the water is very rough. The big waves may be good for surfers, but it's not really safe for regular swimming. The west coast, which is popular with upscale tourists, faces the Caribbean Sea, so the water is very calm and warm. I remember 1 of the beaches there having hard coral under the water, making it uncomfortable to wade in the water, although the water was warm, calm, and shallow. The south coast beaches, between Bridgetown and South Point (Oistins area) are somewhere in between the extremes of the east and west coasts.
The Garrison Area used to be home to one of the major British military bases in the Caribbean. It is just south of Bridgetown, near the coast.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten near the Carolinas on August 28
A long-tracked tropical wave was designated as Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten when it was located southeast of Florida on August 25. The NHC gave this disturbance a 90% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours.[148] However, the system failed to attain any more tropical characteristics.
