cruiseelady Posted December 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I would like to know if there is anything interesting to see or do near the port or 15-25 minutes walking distance from the port? Any beaches, museums, botanical garden, zoos, aquariums or anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any beaches, museums, botanical garden, zoos, aquariums or anything else? There is some shopping near the port. I would get a tour with Shasa, great swimming with turtles!

Giantfan13 Posted December 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We were in Barbados in March and did the whole Island thing. We were there again last week and we just wanted to roam around town and see it in a different way. We opted for a $2.00 shuttle ride to town (it is a long walk and it is hot). WE just walked around, went to a great park that had Christmas trees made from the elementary school kids celebrating many nations. We also walked to the old Jewish Synagogue which was very interesting. We shuttled back to the ship and had a pleasant day. Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninDC Posted December 28, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Carlisle Bay and a host of beach clubs are about a 20 minute walk from the port - exit the port, turn right and keep the water on your right. We enjoyed our day at the Boatyard, but Harbor Lights and Lobster Alive are two other nearby options, or just pull up a spot of sand and enjoy. If you prefer not to walk a taxi is about $5 per person (the Boatyard includes a "free" ride back to the port in its admission fee). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duanerice1 Posted December 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 31, 2016 If you go left there is a very pretty beach not too far up the road. But if you go right, you can see the town and the beaches. You don't need to go to the Boatyard and pay the $20 or so, just hit an open beach close to it. Recommend walking unless it is in the summer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a fuss free gal, just need a spot to put my bottom down and for it to be a safe place. Is the water generally calm? I actually don't know how to swim, but I still get into the water.

Kaz5153 Posted January 30, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I would like to know if there is anything interesting to see or do near the port or 15-25 minutes walking distance from the port? Any beaches, museums, botanical garden, zoos, aquariums or anything else? When we visited Barbados two years ago we walked to the Agapey Chocolate Factory and enjoyed a tour through their facility. We booked the tour online and they gave us clear directions on how to get there from the cruise ship. As I recall it was only a 10 - 15 minute walk. Check them out online.
