Holetown + Folkestone Marine Park

Last Updated 01 May 2024 by Fiona Perisone

This historic town is Barbados' oldest English settlement. It's a quaint village with brightly colored homes, many interesting shops, and small attractions. Nearby is the Folkestone Marine Park, a fantastic marine life museum, and a chance to do some snorkeling in a protected space. Holetown is also home to the Chattel Village, an outdoor shopping venue designed to look like the traditional wooden chattel houses that once covered the island.
