Bathsheba Beach barbados

The seaside town at Bathsheba is one of the most popular spots in Barbados for drone photography. Rolling seas, surfers and intriguing rock formations all contribute to fascinating aerial views.

This video beautifully captures the majesty of the Atlantic Ocean waves as they reach the shore, broken by offshore reefs. Fun fact: there is no land mass between the west coast of the African continent and Barbados, a distance of nearly 6,500 miles.

As we fly north look out for a red flag flying on the beach, a warning that sea conditions are dangerous on this day. We’ll also pass the remnants of the abandoned Edgwater Hotel and fly over rock formations that dot the beach and extend into the ocean.

The video also captures how dramatically the land rises in this area, with Bathsheba village surrounded by towering hills.
