Barbados is gaining popularity as a tourist destination rapidly, and is adored by children and adults equally. The island is awash with pristine beaches and crystal clear water, and offers great music, vibrant flora, rich history and culture, and not to miss out, great food. Its population comprises mixed races that are primarily descendants of those African slaves who were brought to the island, to work on the colonial sugar plantations. Barbados is a popular holiday destination among the tourists, also because of its low crime rate.

Barbados’ Eastern and Western coasts are very distinct – the Eastern coast (Atlantic side) is ruggedly beautiful, but less developed. The Caribbean Western coast, on the other hand, is very developed with lots of hotels and resorts. Its coastline, however, remains very attractive. The calm and clear sea, to which water sports come almost naturally, is a visitors’ delight. The sight of the warm Caribbean water teaming up with colorful fishes swimming across vibrant coral reefs is almost a feast to the eyes. Must sees in Barbados are the famous underwater caves, sugarcane factories, lush tropical gardens and rum distilleries/ plantation houses.

Barbados beaches are just perfect for all forms of water sports. So if you are very keen on them, there are plentiful vacation packages for you to choose from, such as golfing holidays, fishing day trips or even fishing holidays. You can also go windsurfing, kite surfing, skiing, etc among many other sports. If you like horse riding, you will find spending a day at the historic Garrison Savannah racecourse delightful. You may even take a horse for a memorable ride on the golden beaches.  Read more... (450 words, estimated 1:48 mins reading time)

Beach vacations with my family were an annual ritual of packing and planning for my parents, and daydreaming for me. I grew up in England, a small country where you’re never more than an hour or two from the beach, but we used to go a little further afield. Our beach vacation destination was always Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands off the coast of France. My parents went there on their honeymoon, fell in love with it, and returned every year to spend the summer there.

When I was in college I spent my junior year in Santa Barbara, where I discovered a whole new world of fun on the beach. I was used to the cold and grey days that so often marred the English summer, so the clear blue skies and warm water of California beaches were a revelation. Sadly, my pale and puffy-looking English skin was a similar revelation to Californians, but I quickly bronzed up in an attempt to blend in. Alas, I never did learn to surf though.

Now I’m older I still enjoy family beach vacations, but now it’s my job to make the plans and preparations … including the choice of destination. Particularly if you have kids of various ages, it can be a challenge to find the perfect spot to please everyone. You and your spouse want a tucked-away cafe to share a leisurely meal; your teenagers want some nightlife so they can work on their socializing; and your young ones want to splash in the ocean all day and then eat ice cream till it comes out of their ears. Where can you go that will be fun for everyone?  Read more... (622 words, estimated 2:29 mins reading time)
