Luckily there are still the relished quiet spots. A car ride away to Bathsheba, are some of the most beautiful beaches and sitting high above is the Edgewater Inn Far enough away from busy Bridgetown, the capital, the inn is set amongst leafy greens where the splash of the waves and the tweeting of the birds seems to be the only intrusions. If tranquility is not your choice, the nightly gatherings at the favorite watering hole, St. Lawrence Gap or as the Bajans call it, The Gap is the place to head for.
