Barbados has calm, clear water on its west and south coasts and dramatic Atlantic surf on the east coast at Bathsheba. English is spoken everywhere, and the island has close ties with the UK.

Bridgetown and its Garrison are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On Friday nights, the fish fry at Oistins is a local favourite.
