Folkestone Marine Park and Visitor Centre
Folkestone Marine Park and Visitor Centre (Hwy. 1, Church Point, Holetown, St. James Parish) — this is a combination recreational park and educational museum/aquarium. Along with tennis and basketball courts, the park has good snorkeling, and experienced divers can check out the Stavronikita shipwreck (a 365 ft. Greek freighter that was deliberately sunk in 1978 to form an artificial reef). Families will enjoy the museum and aquarium, and there are also picnic facilities and a playground.
Those interested in diving excursions off of these and other waters at Barbados (shc as Friars Crag and Carlisle Bay) can contact the following outfits: www.divebarbadosblue.com; www.ecodivebarbados.com; www.westsidescuba.com.
