Bridgetown

Bridgetown occupies the western shore of Carlisle Bay on Barbados’s southwest coast, in the parish of Saint Michael. As the island’s capital and principal port, it developed around the Careenage, a sheltered inlet where vessels were once careened for repair. Broad Street remains a commercial focus, while the Parliament Buildings beside National Heroes Square reflect the city’s political role. Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison were inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2011, recognising an urban landscape shaped by British colonial planning and Atlantic trade. Carlisle Bay’s reefs and calm water define the waterfront setting. Browse additional webcams from Saint Michael and Barbados to extend your view of the island’s southwest coast.
