Carlisle Bay

Bay
Bay Street, Bridgetown, Barbados
Carlisle Bay

"Carlisle Bay is in the ocean. They have these shipwrecks that are really swimmable, so you swim out with the snorkel. They're super shallow, so you can dive through the rooms in the ship. It's amazing. It's blown my mind and I've become an avid snorkeled."

La Cabane

Restaurant
Batts Rock Beach, Bridgetown, Barbados
La Cabane

"La Cabane, at Batts Rock Beach, is a really cool restaurant. It's fully on the sand and they do open-fire grilling, and there's a ton of different foods. Really nice service, and great food."

Churn Homemade Ice Cream

Ice cream shop
Villa Rd, Bridgetown, Barbados
Churn Homemade Ice Cream

"I have been a huge fan of this ice cream parlor called Churn Ice Cream. It’s just this woman who has a window and she's selling ice cream. It's out of control — like the Biscoff ice cream, I swear to god, is the best I've ever had."

Chicken Rita’s

Chicken restaurant
Ocean View Rd, Barbados
Chicken Rita’s

"It’s some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It's so casual — you go and order, and they have folded up chairs and tables. So you set up your own table and chairs, and there's cats and chickens around. It's some really class A fried chicken."

Brighton Farmers Market

Farmers' market
Brighton Plantation St. George, BB19144, Barbados
Brighton Farmers Market

"There's all sorts of food, like food tents and stuff. And you've got all this dinner-style food, like souvlaki, calzones, fish cakes, and barbecue!"
