5 Of The Best Beaches In Barbados

With just 166 square miles, the tiny little country of Barbados has more than 100 beaches – each as unique and diverse as the island itself. No wonder, every visitor to the country has his favourite. Barbados beaches are definitely some of the best and the most beautiful in the world; although some more popular than others. Here’s a list of 5 of best Barbados beaches:

• Bathsheba:

Bathsheba is a picturesque beach situated on the East Coast. In fact, Bathsheba is a popular surfing spot and the surfing capital of the country. There’s also the ‘Soup Bowl’, considered the best surfing wave by local surfing enthusiasts.

But if you don’t surf, there’s still plenty to do – you can go snorkeling or sunbathing.

You can either go snorkelling to see the island’s beautiful marine life or swim alongside sea turtles that are sometimes known to swim close to the rock formations along the beach. And don’t forget to grab some snacks including the local favourite, grilled snapper.

• Crane Beach:

This is the most popular of all Barbados beaches. This is perfect for those looking to combine some water sports with luxury travel. Crane beach is lined with luxury resorts catering to some of the most elite clients in the world. This is perfect for swimming or sunbathing – whichever you prefer.
