Visit the Bay Tavern at Martins Bay on the east coast or a great Bajan lunch. Sea cat, red snapper, stewed chicken or pork. Sit on the benches by the water and this will be your view

It was a rainy day on our visit here, but we still enjoyed Barbados. St. John's Parish Church is the first church of St. John that is presumed to have been a simple wooden building, but its date is unknown. The parish along with St. George, was carved out of St. Michael in 1640–1641. But successive churches were badly damaged by the hurricane of 1675, the Great Hurricane of 1780, and finally destroyed by the Great Barbados hurricane of 1831. The present church building (the fifth) was built is 1836, and the chancel added in 1876. It is the prototype of the restrained Barbadian version of the Gothic parish church, and a beautiful Westmacott sculpture, commemorating Elizabeth Pinder, on the left of the main door.
