Holidays to St Philip

St Philip is one of the eleven parishes (or districts) of Barbados, and is located in the south east of this beautiful Caribbean holiday destination. The region boasts some stunning beaches, including Crane Beach, which regularly tops polls for ‘most beautiful beach in the world’. The beaches along the east coast are wilder than those on the west coast of Barbados, with bigger waves and stronger currents – ideal for surfing, boogie boarding and confident swimmers. The parish of St Philip also boasts a clutch of handsome colonial mansions, including Sunbury Plantation House, and the famous Bushy Park racing circuit. There are no major towns in this green and rural region, but there are bars, restaurants and shops scattered around the area’s small villages and bays.
