Instead of calm turquoise water, the open Atlantic rolls in from Africa, breaking around huge mushroom-shaped rocks that stand in the shallows.\r\n\r\nThe Soup Bowl, just off the village, is one of the best surf breaks in the Caribbean and has hosted international surf competitions. The coast is rugged and green, with steep hills, gardens and lookouts. Andromeda Botanic Gardens and Hunte's Gardens are nearby, and St John's Parish Church sits on a cliff with views over the whole coast.\r\n\r\nThe sea here is not for swimming: currents are powerful, so people paddle in the shallow rock pools at low tide instead. Bathsheba has a few guesthouses, rum shops and small restaurants, and it is quiet after dark. Give it one or two nights, or visit as a day trip from the south or west coast.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Language | English, with Bajan dialect\r\nCurrency | Barbados dollar (BBD), 2 to 1 with the US dollar\r\nFrom the airport | About 45 minutes\r\nGetting around | Bus from Bridgetown or hire car\r\nEmergency | 211 police, 511 ambulance\r\nTap water | Safe to drink\r\nSwimming | Not in the sea\r\nDriving | On the left\r\nHow long to stay | One or two nights\r\nBest months | November to March for surf","hw_hub_city_areas_title":"Where to base yourself","hw_hub_city_areas_intro":"In the village by the Soup Bowl, or along the coast road at Tent Bay and Cattlewash.","hw_hub_city_areas_map":"1","hw_hub_city_areas_zoom":"13","hw_hub_city_hostels_pins":"1","hw_hub_city_areas_live":"","hw_hub_city_areas":"Bathsheba village | Surf, rocks | The village by the Soup Bowl and the rock formations. | 13.2130 | -59.5220 |  | \nTent Bay | Fishing boats, quiet | A small bay just south of the village. | 13.2080 | -59.5180 |  | \nCattlewash | Long beach | A long, wild beach to the north. | 13.2260 | -59.5340 |  | ","hw_hub_city_itin_title":"How long have you got?","hw_hub_city_itin_intro":"Rocks, surf and gardens.","hw_hub_city_itin":"","hw_hub_city_do_title":"Things to do in Bathsheba","hw_hub_city_do_body":"Walk the beach among the giant rock formations, and paddle in the rock pools at low tide.
