10 GREAT REASONS FOR VISITING BARBADOS
1 BEACHES
Barbados' coastline is beautiful and varied. Lapped by the warm waters of the Caribbean, the west coast boasts a string of gorgeous
beaches, perfect for swimming and water sports. The Atlantic coastline is much more dramatic and less developed.
2 PEOPLE
If there's one thing that makes Barbados stand out above any other
destination, it's the people. Bajans will not only welcome you onto their island with open
arms, they'll show you how to have a good time too. Whether you're exploring the island by
day, or heading out for the night, there'll be no shortage of helpful people to point you
in the right direction.
3 WEATHER
As the most easterly island of the Caribbean, Barbados is out of the hurricane
path. Year round temperatures remain a steady 28C to 30C, and thanks to the balmy trade winds blowing in from the
Atlantic, there's always a gentle breeze.
4 CUISINE
Visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out. You'll find simple
local dishes in the rum shops and street stands. At the other end of the spectrum
Michelin starred chefs serve up mouth watering delicacies to please the most sophisticated palate.
5 RANGE OF ACCOMMODATION
Everything from small guest houses to exclusive five star resorts.
All budgets catered for.
6 ACTIVITIES

and still not try them
all. As well as snorkelling, scuba diving and other water sports,
there's deep sea fishing, horse riding and jeep safaris to keep even the most energetic happy.
7 HISTORY AND CULTURE
Bajans are justifiably proud of their rich heritage. Take a taxi or book a tour to explore the island's important
sights. The British influence is more evident in Barbados than any other Caribbean island.

explore. Road surfaces are generally good, and they drive on the left hand side.

No matter what time of year you visit, you'll find a festival in full
swing. Join in, go with the flow and you are guaranteed a great time.
10 NIGHTLIFE
