When you stay at Gibbs Bay, you will be staying in close proximity to a plethora of fantastic activities and cultural sights to explore. The prime location means you are close to the popular city of Holetown with its range of restaurants and bars, as well as nestled in between the big city of Speightstown to the north, as well as Barbados’s capital, Bridgetown, to the south. For snorkeling and diving around a sunken ship, head to the unique Folkestone Marine Park & Visitors' Center. For a day filled with adventure, pay a visit to Harrison's Cave Eco-Adventure Park, and to experience some awe and fascination, head to the Animal Flower Cave & Restaurant, or St. Nicholas Abbey and Steam Railway.
Despite this huge range of fun things to do on the island, the main reason why so many choose to make Barbados their home for their escapes, is of course, the beaches.
