Barbados - from Dawn Until Sunset : The Crane, Bathsheba, Platinum Coast & Island Tour

A short film of our recent holidays to Barbados in 2016/2017. A simulated day from Dawn until Dusk - taking in the best of Barbados. A truly stunning island - so welcoming, fun and friendly - we just want to go back.
Starting at sunrise on Crane Beach - we watch as the sun rises and warms up the day, and the early beach dwellers, before exploring the grounds of the historic (The) Crane hotel. In complete contrast, next we make a visit to the Buccaneer Sam Lord's derelict Castle and it's pair of beaches to admire the surging tide.
Unlike it's name, the glorious Foul Bay is next, with it's long and wide golden beach before we move to the picture postcard beauty of Bottom Bay - swaying palms, azure sea and pounding surf.
A quick pitstop at Sunbury Plantation House before we move to Hastings and a walk along The Boardwalk. Next up, we visit Bridgetown for a stroll around the shops.
We next find ourselves at the Garrison Historic Area and the Garrison Savannah horse racing venue - where we study the form and win a few dollars. Once over, we move over to the George Washington House - where we learn about his visit to Barbados - and move through the tunnels beneath.
A quick visit to Carlisle Bay for beach games and wine at The Barbados Cruising Club before we visit the historic defences at Needhams Point.
After some beautiful 'best-of' scenes - we move to the rugged, unspoilt Eastern coast of Barbados, and the parish of St Andrew. Here we pass the windswept, desolate beaches of the east as we make our way to the jewel of the East Coast : Bathsheba, in St Joseph. Here we see the worn flanks of the rock formations that have been eroded by the waves. A glorious view.
We move back up the coast, past the Morgan Lewis Windmill, to the view from Cherry Tree Hill - a splendid view across all of the East Coast - before continuing north into St Lucy and a visit to Archers Bay and the Cliffs at the Animal Flower Cave.
Next, we visit Folkestone Marine Park and stroll along the beach towards Holetown - skipping between the waves as the tide teases the shore.
A shady afternoon visit to the beautiful Hunte's Gardens keeps us cool as we admire his collection of plants cultivated in a large sink hole. A quick beer with Anthony Hunte (and his dog) - before we move on.
The classic palm tree, golden sand and Caribbean surf awaits as we visit St Peter's Bay before taking in some views of Cobblers Cove as we approach Speightstown - and beyond to Port St Charles and Heywoods Beach.
A quick cooling trip through the beautiful flora and fauna of Welchman Hall Gully is next - a lovely walk through palms, bamboo and vines - before returning to the Platinum Coast for sunset and wine.
Magical.
