In complete contrast to the still waters of the Barbados west coast, is the rugged Barbados East coast. Here is the Atlantic Ocean with huge waves breaking over the rocks and reefs – a stunning seascape, with tide pools formed close to the shore, fun for all – not safe for regular swimming though!  At Bathsheba in St Joseph, is the Soup Bowl, the Surfing paradise which holds an International competition each year.

This highly popular event is taking place from 25th to 27th November 2011! Promising amazing surfing from two premium international competitions, the November Pro and the Caribbean Junior Championships.  Half-pipe demonstrations from local and regional skaters, the famous Independence Bikini Contest, live music, arts and crafts, local food and much more. 

So plenty for us non-surfers to do too!

The Barbados Surf Bowl Cafe is right opposite for drinks and food.
