Fodor's Expert Review Harry Bayley Observatory

South Coast Observatory

Equipped with a 16-inch Meade telescope with the latest robotic controls and digital cameras and a new Lunt 80 mm solar telescope, this observatory lets you view the moon, stars, planets, comets, and other astronomical objects that aren't otherwise visible from mainland North America or Europe. The Friday-evening programs (8–10 pm, weather permitting), which start with an informative presentation, are run by volunteers; call ahead to make sure it's open. The observatory has been the headquarters of the Barbados Astronomical Society since 1963.
