Speightstown EsplanadeThe newly opened Speightstown Esplanade is the perfect place to stroll or sit and watch the gorgeous Caribbean sea and tropical sunsets.

Watersports
Watersports activities including jetskiing are available along the coast. Ask your hotel if watersports are included or can be arranged.

Turtles
Several of the beaches along Speightstown's coast are turtle nesting beaches, so if you're visiting at the right time you might spot a turtle nesting or hatchlings making their way to the sea! Hawksbill turtles typically nest between May and October, however, nesting has been documented throughout the year. The nesting season for leatherback turtles is between February and July. Hatchlings are born after a 60 day incubation period.
