  • Located along the northwest coast of Barbados, Speightstown is one of the island's major towns and boasts a long and intriguing history.
    Much of the character of Speightstown can be found in its architecture - historic buildings dating back to the early settlement of Barbados alongside modern buildings reflecting a developing nation - and in its people - the sidewalk vendors offering fresh fruits and vegetables, the fishermen unloading their catch along the jetty, local characters hanging out at the Esplanade and friendly sales staff in modern shops and restaurants.
    Once one of Barbados's busiest ports, Speightstown has undergone a renaissance of sorts and is once again an active and vibrant town while still maintaining a colonial charm.
    The town is home to several beautiful beaches which tend to be less busy than others along this popular coast.

    What a lovely video of Speightstown my fathers birth town. I can see my cousins house on your footage. There is a lovely little beach near the restaurant Hugos which has now been closed for the past 2 years and some. I'm sure you know of Fishermans Pub a lovely homely local restaurant frequented by both locals and tourists. Reasonable prices.. Heywoods beach is good also.. My first visit to Barbados was 1999 and I was awestruck by it's beauty 😎💕

    OMG, I caught that it was a cute town when I was riding by the Esplanade but WOW I am now officially enchanted!! My cousins used to have a general store on Queen Street like 20 yrs agp, wish they still had it cause Prediction - S'town is going to be a mash up of Holetown and St. Lawrence - not as [ahem] "raw" as The Gap can get (except for that sex shop I saw??) but not as "upper crust" as Holetown. And I'm claiming that blue dress, I sure hope it fits 🤣🤣🤣

    Speightstown was the olx capital city, full of beautiful old 'colonial' (I hate that term) buildings. The main street is not wide and the arrival of the motor car which inevitably crashed into them speeded up their demise

    Good night. I usually watch your videos but you seem not to do your research before starting your videos. As a result you are often unsure about places by name and how long services were available in a given spot.

Major Walk is the road that leads to the Police Station and Speigtstown Bus Terminal. To School which is currently abandoned is called the Alma Parris Secondary School. A school for children with developmental deficits.
