Speightstown is one of Barbados’ four towns, and unique because it is the only one to have retained much of the original street system. It is a charming town of small streets lined with simple, two-story shops, many boasting old-fashioned Georgian-style balconies and overhanging galleries.

The construction of a by-pass highway has routed traffic around the centre of the town, making it an ideal place for strolling, especially on a Saturday morning when the

 “hucksters” sell fresh fruit and vegetables from their trays on the narrow streets.

The coastline along Speightstown is dotted with quaint fishing villages, and fresh fish can be purchased at the market in town, or further along the coast at Six Men’s Bay, Sherman’s and Half Moon Fort.

In Speightstown you’ll find delightful restaurants, and shops that produce an impressive selection of quality and

reasonably priced merchandise. Also in town are service facilities for cellular phones, internet cafes and banking including The Royal Bank, First Caribbean International and Barbados National Bank. - Visit Holetown >>
