Baxter's Road, Bridgetown

By day, Baxter’s Road in Bridgetown might seem like just another quiet street in the capital. But as night falls, this unassuming road transforms into a vibrant, pulsating hub of Bajan culture. Known as "the street that never sleeps," Baxter’s Road is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of island life.
