Barbados’ beaches
On the west coast of the island you will find a seemingly endless stretch of a golden sandy beach accompanied by calm, warm waters.
Arguably the most popular attraction on the island, Barbados’ beaches are varied – the west coast is ideal for those who want to take a dip in the Caribbean sea, water ski or dive and then there are other beaches around the island that are perfect for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Barbados is unique to have a Caribbean coast and an Atlantic coast.
Harrison’s Cave
The crystallized limestone cavern is said to be one of the wonders of the world. First opened as a tourist attraction in 1981, the Harrison’s Caves features stalactites and stalagmites which have been growing from the floors and ceilings for many centuries while clear blue water runs through the cave forming pools and waterfalls.
