While rocky cliffs, a lush interior and vast sugarcane fields create the majestic landscape of Barbados, miles of powdery, white sand beaches and crystal-clear blue water are what make Barbados so spectacular.

The less developed east coast features picturesque seaside villages, plantations, gardens, and 17th century Anglican churches. And though the east coast fronts the rougher Atlantic waters, it offers great natural sightseeing such as Andromeda Botanical Garden, Farley Hill National Park, and Harrison's Cave. The lively south coast features a diversity of dining options with a fish fry on Friday night, and international cuisine in St. Lawrence.

Bajans, the people of Barbados, are known for their hospitality. What's more, Barbados retains much of its English heritage, such as cricket games and afternoon tea.
