Christ Church is located on the south coast of Barbados and is where you will find the majority of restaurants, bars, hotels, and tourist attractions.

When you arrive in Barbados, it will be either by air or sea. If it is by air, you will land at Grantley Adams International Airport, which is in the parish of Christ Church. Located next door to the airport is the Barbados Concorde Experience; here in Barbados, we are lucky enough to have one of the Concorde aircraft since its retirement.

For further information, click on the link about the Barbados Concorde Experience at the bottom of this page.

When you make your way down from the airport, you may pass through the fishing village of Oistins, which is renowned for its Friday night fish fry, a social gathering of tourists and locals who enjoy great cooked fish and a few glasses of rum.

There are some great beaches in Christ Church. If you are looking for water sports action, you can head to Long Beach, which is excellent for kite surfing, or Silver Rock and Silver Sands, which are both ideal for windsurfing. If you want to surf in the south, head to Freights Bay by the South Point Lighthouse.

If you just fancy swimming, you can go to one of many beaches that have white sand and are suitable for sea bathing. Some popular ones are Miami Beach, Accra Beach, Sandy Beach, and Dover Beach.

Or even go up to the Aquatic Centre at the Garfield Sobers Gymnasium, where there is an Olympic size pool for the more dedicated swimmer.

If golf is your chosen sport, you can enjoy playing at one of two churches in Christ Church. There is an excellent course at Rockley Golf and Country Club, and this parish is also home to the Barbados Golf Club.

This parish also has plenty of tourist attractions, such as the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary, a beautiful place to wander around and get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy south coast streets.

For a unique experience, you might like to go to the Globe Drive-In, where you can watch the latest films from the comfort of your car or take a picnic and lay out under the stars while watching the movie.

If you would like to visit one of the Anglican churches in this parish, you could go to Christ Church Parish Church, which is famous for the moving coffins inside the Chase family vault. Five members of this family died within the same decade. When the first coffin was laid in the vault, it is reported that a couple of years later, when a second family member died, they opened the vault and found the first coffin had moved, the second coffin was laid to rest, and the vault sealed.

Some years later, when another family member died, they opened the vault again and found that both coffins had moved back. When this happened for the fourth time, all the coffins were relocated. Other churches in the parish are St. Patrick’s Church and St. David’s Church.

If you want a great meal, you can enjoy fine dining at many south coast locations; please see the list below.

And if you are looking for a party, head to St. Lawrence Gap – for more information on what can be found in the Gap, please click on the links at the bottom of this page.
