Barbados Island information
The most easterly of the Caribbean Islands, Barbados extends a welcome as warm as its climate. Nearly 350 years of uninterrupted British rule have left their mark on an island nicknamed "Little England". Its parliament, founded in 1639, is one of the oldest in the British Commonwealth.
Barbados has two distinct faces - the west coast boasts unending palm-fringed beaches of powder white sand, sapphire seas, hotels and fine restaurants. In contrast, the east coast offers rugged headlands pounded by Atlantic waves and a selection of excellent beaches.
Bridgetown is rapidly establishing itself as a serious shopping zone. The Bajan capital is also the base for a wide range of sightseeing tours and activities including day and evening cruises, snorkelling trips and helicopter rides. In recent years Barbados has also earned a reputation as a "fine dining" destination with a wonderful and eclectic choice of world class restaurants to choose from.
Where better to experience your favourite sport be it golf or water-skiing - than in a sun-drenched tropical paradise, lulled by cooling trade winds.
If you are a keen golfer, Barbados is definitely for you. Begin your days with a leisurely early morning breakfast so you can be on the green before the sun gathers strength. A myriad of exotic birds will serenade your quest for a hole in one! After the game, immerse yourself in the warm crystal clear waters that make Barbados so inviting a destination.
During the evenings, St Lawrence Gap, with its array of bars and restaurants, is a great place to enjoy a lively night out and there are plenty of shopping opportunities in and around the capital of Bridgetown during the day.
Harrison’s Cave - Take a tram ride into a subterranean world of stalactites, stalagmites, streams, lakes and waterfalls. Harrison’s cave is located near the geographical centre of Barbados, in the parish of St. Thomas.
Plantation houses - Many of the grand homes built by the plantation owners are open to the public. Mansions such as Sam Lord’s Castle contain many of their original gilt and mahogany fittings, and you can still see a working sugar plantation on Arbib Nature and Heritage trail.
Wreck diving - If you’ve always wanted to explore a shipwreck, Carlisle Bay is reputed to have 200 wrecks, including four wrecks which are of particular interest - the Berwyn, Eilon, C-Trek and Fox. Contact a dive operator in Carlisle Bay for further details.
