All beaches in Barbados are open to the public, locals and tourist alike. West Coast beaches are the calmest and are good and safe for swimming, snorkeling and diving. South Coast beaches offer gentle winds and waves for bodysurfing, windsurfing and kite surfing. East and North Coast beaches bring huge waves and strong currents suitable for the experienced surfer but not for swimming except for areas with protected bays.

SIZE & LOCATION

Barbados is a beautiful, coral and limestone island, and is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands.   Barbados measures 14 x 21 miles, and has eleven parishes.  The capital city Bridgetown is located on the island's southwestern coast in the parish of St. Michael.   Barbados has three other towns: Oistins in the South, Holetown in the West and Speightstown in the North.

Barbados has a well-earned reputation of being an immensely satisfying holiday destination, going far beyond the usual pre-requisites of a tropical beach holiday. We encourage visitors to "scratch the surface" and discover the refreshing mix that lies beneath.

Barbados has a number of areas considered to be "hot spots" by party goers. A favourite is St. Lawrence Gap on the South Coast. Known simply as "The Gap" the well- lit district has long been a place for both visitors and locals to party, with its wide brick sidewalks making it ideal for pedestrian traffic through the wee hours of the morning.
