Soup Bowl' which hosts many international surfing events. We enjoyed
watching the surfers from our lunch stop at the Round House in Bathsheba.
One of the oldest hotels on the east coast. |

The East Coast is renown for its rugged 'chalky
mount' terrain, miles of untouched, windswept coastline and
rough seas. Swimming here can be dangerous and is not recommended.
|
| Bathsheba is popular
with all of our visitors and there are some interesting places
to eat, from local roadside cafes, to lovely old hotels with
excellent food such as the one below. |

Built in the 1800's
this beautifully located hotel enjoys stunning views of the
Atlantic and is known for its excellent local cuisine and
tropical fruit punch. |

The Steam Railway line
was opened in 1881 and use to run along the east coast from
Bellplaine to Bridgetown, transporting people and goods to
the capital.
Unfortunately it stopped running
in 1937 but the old tracks can still be seen and it remains
a popular hike for locals and visitors alike from Bathsheba
to Bath.
