Barbados
Many islands in the Caribbean have beaches, but Barbados is in a league of it own. The east side of the island is home to legendary surf from the wild Atlantic currents. If intense water sports or extreme hiking are not on your list, then the west side (equally impressive) is for you. Serene Bays, gentle summer breezes, giant hammocks just high enough to that your hand touches the silky white sand, or relax with the family and try snorkeling.
It is generally sunny and warm throughout the year with an average high of 80 degrees F. The nights are usually slightly cooler. Occasionally the rain comes in quick showers mainly during second half of the year.
Beyond the sand and the surf, Barbados is full of culture and diversity. In the late 1700s English settlers came to the island. Barbados was a slave colony and a large sugar supplier. Now Barbados, nearly 170 square miles, is one of the most developed islands in the Caribbean. All that remains of the early days are a few historic buildings and museums.
Short hikes around the island will land your very private lagoon and will fit anyone’s budget as well as many of the water sports. If you land on the island looking to burn a little cash, Barbados has many well craft local products and retail stores all duty-free. Take a private yacht sailing into breathtaking sunset for a five-star dinner or enjoy drinks as you listen to island music from a live band. No matter what your price range Barbados has all the attractions to send you home begging for more.
