2Revitalize Yourself in the Bathsheba Pools
The Bathsheba Pools in Saint Joseph Parish are said to be restorative, so those who feel a bit worse for wear the morning after the Fish Fry will be in luck. It is said that King David’s wife loved to swim in these waters as a cleansing ritual. According to folklore, King David’s wife, Bathsheba, kept her complexion soft and lovely by bathing in milk. In a local legend,the mineral-rich, surf-covered white waters of Bathsheba, Barbados, are claimed to look just like Bathsheba’s bath, and they are also believed to have medicinal properties.If you find that the soothing pools are fit only for royalty, you may always visit the adjacent bath beach. The calm, mild waters that lie beyond the beach’s shoreline are the inspiration for its name. Your mind will wander to a place of pure relaxation as the calming current transports you to an oceanic bathtub of your very own.
