Barbados is for people who want to relax in sophisticated way. The air of British civility - stately homes, rolling green countryside, colorful cottages, afternoon tea and cricket matches - permeates the island. Beaches along the south, southeast and west coasts are seldom crowded, and that is where you'll find beachfront resorts. Tennis and golf are popular. Fine restaurants abound. And there's also an array of historic, cultural and natural spots to explore. For a real taste of island life, visit in the summer and celebrate the end of the sugarcane harvest with the Bajans during the month-long Crop-Over festival.
West Coast Beach
Barbados is famous for its endless miles of superb, white-sand beaches along three wonderfully diverse coastlines, its sophisticated atmosphere, devoid of crowds or any raucousness. It also offers a wide variety of popular outdoor pursuits, including windsurfing, yachting, deep-sea fishing, diving and golf. Think of paradise, think of Barbados. With its sixty miles of shimmering shores, swaying palm trees, soft white sands and inviting seas all just waiting to be discovered.
