Barbados
Barbados is a picture book paradise, miles of powdery white sands that are lapped by crystal
clear warm waters make for wonderfully idyllic surroundings in which to relax. Many Bajans like
to think of Barbados as 'an England in the tropics', its rich history and culture make the
island a fantastic place for exploration when spending days away from lazing on the beautiful
beaches.
Making the most of Barbados
With its beautiful golden sand beaches backed by palm trees and its amazingly laid-back pace,
Barbados is the quintessential Caribbean island. Despite having gained independence from
Britain in 1966, some colonial customs still remain, such as afternoon tea, dressing for
dinner, and cricket at the Kensington Oval. Its mixed influences have given Barbados a unique
culture, reflected in its varied architecture (including large plantation houses and small
colonial parishes with cricket greens and traditional churches), cuisine, dance, music, theatre
and art.
Must tries
Don't miss a night out in St Lawrence Gap where all the restaurants and bars come
alive at night, or Oistin's Fish Fry on Friday nights, where food, drink and music combine to
pull in the crowds. Other options include Plantation Spectacular (an evening of live music and
Bajan food and drink) and Harbour Lights (a popular nightspot). If you're in Barbados around
July or August, you may catch part of Crop Over, a month-long party to celebrate the sugar
harvest.
