Snackettes/Restaurants

The Commission originally maintained five (5) snackettes/restaurants, located at Holetown,Barclays Park, Bathsheba, Bath and Hastings Rocks.

Those at Hastings Rocks and Bath have been reconstructed and are due to be operational in the near future while that at Barclays Park is also due to be demolished and reconstructed as part of a new complex earmarked for this location.

The snackette at Bathsheba is being refurbished with a view to having it operational again. These facilities afford small entrepreneurs the opportunity to provide traditional and local cuisine to visitors and locals alike and are leased on concession for a period of two to five years.

Oistins Bay Gardens

Oistins is located in the parish of Christ Church and is a major fishing community in Barbados with a modern fishing market. Additionally, Oistins is the site of the annual Fish Festival which honours those who contribute to the local fishing industry.

Oistins Bay Gardens is one of the most preferred entertainment spots of locals and visitors to our island. The facility is home to the famous Oistins Fish Fry. Oistins Bay Gardens was recently transformed with new vendor’s kiosks and entertainment facilities by the Barbados Tourism Investment Inc. and is currently managed and maintained by the National Conservation Commission.

Our Social Commitment..

The National Conservation Commission is committed to adding social value in all its endeavors. We are of the firm belief, that the growth of any nation is dependent on the growth of the society as a whole. Ensuring that a nation’s recreational requirements are met is of primary concern, especially in a hectic work environment. The Commission’s social commitment to the Barbadian community is well established and its mandate in this regard is wide and varied.
