The 10 Best Things to do Adventurous in Bridgetown, Saint Michael Parish

May 22, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

Shopping is plentiful in Bridgetown. The capital of Barbados offers duty-free shopping at cruise ship terminals and upscale boutiques on Broad Street. Additional activities include yachting, fishing, viewing cricket matches and the nightlife on Baxter's Road. For history, visit the Barbados Museum, National Heroes Square (formerly Trafalgar Square) and the oldest Jewish synagogue in the western hemisphere, as well as the house where George Washington stayed and the church he attended.

Stavronikita

For the expert deep-sea diver, a 360-foot freighter ship sitting in 130 feet of water and populated by all kinds of tropical marine life.

Reviewed By Geoff-SW4 - London, United Kingdom

I dived the Stavronika with Barbados Blue in December 2020 and was well worth it - it's a huge, long wreck that's pretty intact, with lots of opportunities for swim throughs.

Simply the best little mobile Stand Up Paddle board company in Barbados! I like to keep it small and personal (no big groups where you feel like a sheep in a flock). I'm World Paddle Association (WPA) Certified and try to deliver the best lesson and SUP experience to every guest. I was born and grew up right here in Barbados and can be a wonderful source of local information and funny insights and stories. I look forward to meeting you on the beach in Barbados soon!
