About these names

Bridgetown is the capital of the parish of St Michael; the resort coasts (west, south, east) are in the neighbouring parishes of St James, St Peter, Christ Church and St Joseph.

Bridgetown itself is small: the Careenage and Broad Street form the historic centre, Cheapside and Fairchild Street sit just north across the water, the Garrison is a short ride south-east, and Carlisle Bay's beaches run along Bay Street between the centre and the Garrison. Most visitors sleep further out, on the nearby south coast or the west coast.
