A stair has been cut into the rocks at Deebles, and it is possible to walk down to the platform cut into the rock halfway down the cliffs. This is a wonderful spot for a picnic, or to take a rod and line, and cast for snapper off the rocks.

The lighthouse stands guard over the point.

Grazing Cow at Deebles

Here is another of the curious juxtapositions one sees in Barbados.
At Deebles, the next point north of Kitridge, a cow grazes in a lush field, while in the background is a stand of cacti and a grove of coconut palms.
Barbados has a largish dairy herd, and sufficient milk is produced on the island to sustain a small dairy industry and one manufacturer of specialty cheeses.
