6. Barbados Garrison
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 251 reviews
Former 17th century British military base, now open to the public.
Reviewed By CBishop007 - Bedford, United Kingdom
If you happen to be able to get yourself near the Garrison on a Thursday at 12:00 this is a real piece of interesting nostalgia. All the participants are former serving members of the armed services and you get the original costumes, a narration explaining all you would need to know about the process and quirky history, a wonderful and colourful marching band and an opportunity to meet the en-actors with a drink in their temporary bar. A very worthwhile half hour.
7. Carlisle Bay

This bay is best known for its calm, sheltered waters, perfect for swimming and scuba diving.
Reviewed By Gavinlawrence79
Visited a few times now, the most incredible beach with the most fantastic snorkelling, forget the organised trips and just swim out to see the turtles in their own environment, very little tide to think about and crystal clear water. We were lucky enough to see a Stingray out there too this year, amazing.

This was my second visit to the boatyard , but first time doing the snorkel trip that was included in my 25 dollars admission price plus free drink and sun bed love this place gorgeous white sandy beach and turquoise blue sea . The guys on the snorkel trip where great and put me at ease whilst I was trying to sort out my snorkel equipment we snorkelled over a ship wreck and there where fish stingrays and turtles and free shuttle back to our cruise ship highly recommend for a chill out day and will definitely return
10. Garrison Savannah - Barbados Turf Club
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 458 reviews
Alongside Barbados Museum, site of former British soldier barracks, now used for horse racing.
Reviewed By kevinwE4265BY - Oldbury, United Kingdom
Went to watch the Gold Cup at Garrison Savannah racecourse. It's the biggest event of the year there. Terrific atmosphere all day, lots of tourists and lots of local as well. Music, a parade, dancing - racing Caribbean style. You can watch the races for free around or inside the track, and the grandstand seats were not too expensive either. Plenty of places serving food and drinks, we had some quite good chicken and pork. You can bet at the pari-mutuel sheds but be prepared for slow and lengthy queues. It was certainly well worth a visit, a big difference from being at an English racecourse in March!
