The Caribbean holds many great treasures
when it comes to island destinations. Barbados is just one of these great
places. This single island is its own independent country and is located close
to South America, a bit over 250 miles from the coast of Venezuela. It is east
of Saint Lucia and north of Trinidad and Tobago. The island itself is only
about 165 square miles of low-lying land, but the tropical trade winds,
beautiful rainforests, and, of course, lovely sandy beaches make it popular for
tourist travel. You too can enjoy a vacation in Barbados.
According to the United Nations, Barbados
is the fourth most developed of all the developing countries in the entire
world. It may be small, but almost every resident of this island nation enjoys
a very high standard of living, and this extends to the tourists who visit the
country every year, so you can expect your travel in Barbados to be nothing
short of fantastic.
If you plan to travel to the sunny beaches
of Barbados, you will probably fly into the single major airport on the island,
Sir Grantley Adams International Airport. Many major airlines fly into this
airport from almost everywhere in the world, and it is actually a major hub for
the Caribbean, so no matter where you are traveling in this region of the
world, you may fly into Barbados to catch a flight or cruise to another island.
Some of the best things to do while you are
in Barbados are centered on the beach. Surfing is very popular because the
waters here are perfect for it, with the Soup Bowl, located near the town of
Bathsheba, being a popular surfing destination. The western and southern coasts
are most popular, and you’re sure to be able to enjoy a number of sunny days
lying on the pink sand if you like to sunbathe.
However, if the beach isn’t your thing, you
can also enjoy the shopping in the duty-free tourist centers. You can also
check out the fun and exciting night life, the wildlife reserves, and the
festivals that take part all over the island in July and August. Popular
tourist destinations include Farley Hill National Park, Animal Flower Cave,
Hackleton’s Cliff, Sharon Moravian Church, Orchid World, Gun Hill Signal
Station, Garrison Savannah, and Barbados Historical Museum. Large towns that in
Barbados in which you can stay include Bridgetown, Speightstown, Holetown, and
Oistins. You can also stay in any one of the small local towns dotting the
island while visiting this beautiful country.
