The furthest town from the city, located along the north-west coast of Barbados, Speightstown is a quiet town boasting much history and character with buildings and monuments dating as far back as the early settlers in the 1600s (maybe even further). Although it is the quietest of the four towns, with many countryfolk plying their trade, this is a must stop for photoshoots, great restaurants, fishing villages and culture on the island.
The beaches are perfect because it is less busy than the other coasts!

Built in early 1800's I've been eating here since I was a little girl. Not only is the food consistently good but the service is nice and the views are spectacular. When you are full one could just stare out the windows to the beautiful world renowned 'Soup Bowl' one of the biggest premier surf spots.
Brunch, lunch and dinner available.
Definitely need a good car/jeep to get up those hills but the drive is worth it!
If you enjoy a good walk or hike before eating or after, check out Joe's River Bridge where a new bridge has been built. Perfect for hiking, cycling and walking.
Sometimes there is live music and yoga sessions available.
