City/town information

Located along the north-west coast of Barbados, Speightstown is one of the islands major towns and boasts a long and intruiging history. Much of the character of Speightstown can be found in its architecture - historic buildings dating back to the early settlement of Barbados alongside modern buildings reflecting a developing nation - and in its people - the sidewalk vendors offering fresh fruits and vegetables, the fishermen unloading their catch along the jetty, local characters hanging out at the Esplanade and friendly sales staff in modern shops and restaurants. Once one of Barbados's busiest ports, Speightstown has undergone a renaissance of sorts and is once again an active and vibrant town while still maintaining a colonial charm. The town is home to several beautiful beaches which tend to be less busy than others along this popular coast.

A landmark in the area. The popular Fisherman's Pub has been catering to locals and visitors alike. The restaurant looks great, modern on the outside but kept it's interesting history inside. Food is served buffet style - simple but delicious. Prices are more affordable comparing to other places on the west coast. It also has a lovely view to the clear waters!

여행 팁

교통편

Location makes transportation Easy

The apartments are located in the Speightstown area close to the beach, local spots and other amenities. You can travel through this small town by foot taking the time to sight-see along the way, stopping and perusing the small shops. The bus terminal is also close by, making it convenient to catch the bus to move a little further away from the town to other popular areas and similarly you can take the bus back to the terminal and be back at the apartment with a short stroll. However if you want to get around on your own terms, a car hire is recommended - just let us know and we can help.
