Barbados!

Why go...Tropical beaches, rum, fish frys, and cricket!


 Sandy Lane Resort!  Extremely beautiful!  Sandy Lane Beach is one of the calmest on the island!  


Rum Shops!  These are the local equivalent to coffee shops; people sit, chat, hear the news, and play dominoes all while having a rum punch!


Fish Frys!  Every Friday there are fish markets with dancing and music.  It is a very festive weekly event that is like a mix between Carnival and a farmers market.  One of the most famous is Oistins Fish Fry.  


Cricket and Rugby!  Popular sports on the island since the time of  British colonialism.


Walk the plank on the Jolly Roger Pirate Ship!  


See what's going on under the sea from the coziness of a submarine!  

Home and garden tours!  Annual tours of all kinds of homes and gardens of  the locals!  Ooh La La!

Arts and crafts tours!  The ceramics below are from Earth Works Pottery.  Pretty!  
Dinner Sets (Rectangular)

Cliff Restaurant.  Dreamy and romantic!   

Beautiful beaches, scuba diving, swimming with sea turtles, and marine parks!  

Mount Gay Rum Tours! used to be a major industry.  Barbados rum since 1703!  Rum has been a huge industry for the island; because sailing was a major part of rum distribution, they still take part in the Mount Gay Rum Regatta!

Nature and history tours of the island!  Barbados Museum showing the Portugesse, English, African, and Indigenous mixture of the island!  Flower Forest Arboretum!
