About Barbados
Although Barbados is only 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, the roads can be slow, and exploring the island takes time. Some attractions are close to each other and can be visited easily in the same outing. It's best to get a Barbados tourist map showing the sites before you head out.
The Animal Flower Cave is located at the far northern tip of the island. Heading south from here, the first set of attractions you come to are: St. Nicholas Abbey, Cherry Tree Hill, the Barbados Wildlife Refuge, and Farley Hill National Park. A second cluster of attractions a little farther south are: Bathsheba Bay, Andromeda Botanical Gardens, Hunte's Gardens, Welchman Hall Gully, the Flower Forest, and Harrison's Cave. Heading farther south, on the southeastern shore, you'll find the spectacular Bottom Bay Beach and Crane Beach.
On the west side of the island is the Caribbean coast, with an endless string of picture-perfect beaches and calm waters, ideal for swimming. Along this coast, Holetown is an upscale community where you can stop for shopping or lunch.
Another way of seeing some of the highlights around Barbados is on a Best of Barbados Tour. This is a seven-hour tour hitting some of the highlights, like Bathsheba Bay, Welchman Hall Gulley, and Harrison's Cave, and it offers a chance to swim with sea turtles. For something a little shorter and more relaxed, the five-hour Barbados Island and Beach Tour will also take you to some of the key attractions and allows for a little beach time. For travelers short on time, these are two great options.
