Description

Barbados is located at 13.1939° N, 59.5432° W and is the eastern-most Caribbean island measuring a compact 21 miles by 14 miles. Divided into 11 parishes, in which a diverse landscape exists, Barbados is unlike many other Caribbean islands--it is not volcanic. Barbados is a mixture of flat land, rolling hills and steep cliffs. Much of the island is composed of coral or limestone, and is without an abundance of surface water as a result of these permeable substances. Thus, there is a scarcity of ponds, rivers and streams in Barbados, despite a sufficient amount of rainfall. There is, however, an abundance of beaches. The year-round climate of Barbados is mild and sunny, with typical temperatures ranging between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius (75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit). Moderate trade winds affect Barbados, which helps keep humidity levels rather low. Whilst rain generally comes in quick bursts, except during the months from June through November, Barbados usually experiences about 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. There is always something new to catch the eye. As with all true islands the sea claims its right to be the indomitable spirit of the environment. From the invigorating sight of the East Coast to the tranquilizing effect of the West Coast, Barbados can offer a range of coastal scenery and sea-bathing that is sure to accommodate even the most whimsical of tastes. Guests visiting with us can do as much (or as little) as they desire. The warm sunshine and white beaches may not be enough for some. Other activities include hiking, tennis, polo, scuba diving, boating and deep sea fishing. All can easily be arranged just for the asking. Barbados boasts three beautiful golf courses enticing golf enthusiasts and professionals from all over the world. There is something for everyone! Options for sightseeing are varied: you may choose an exciting island tour, rigorous 4 x 4 Land Rover “off road” tour of the hills and scenic features on the east coast, or just hire a vehicle, pack a cooler and use a map to locate the many points of interest. Coastal sailing cruises offer many options – calypso party cruises, sunset cruises, private champagne cruises – are very enjoyable and a great way to see the island’s coastline and beaches while relaxing and enjoying the island breezes. Most cruises include food and drink and make a number of stops for swimming or snorkeling.
