As you make your way south out of the capital city of Bridgetown, head up Bay Street for a mixture of historic and modern Barbados. The street begins at the historic swinging bridge over the careenage and passes several sites of interest and entertainment areas, before ending near the Barbados Yacht Club, about one mile away.

For something a little quieter, try the Lobster Alive restaurant which has a magnificent view of Carlisle Bay.

Functions are also held regularly at the beautiful Bayshore Complex.

Continuing south you will eventually reach the Carlisle Bay esplanade. The open area is directly opposite the Government Headquarters and is a popular spot for gatherings. Carlisle Bay is usually alive with colour, as there are typically several yachts and other boats anchored there.
