    Barbados

    #Beaches, #Adventure, #Nature
    Lounging on sandy beaches fringed by casuarina and sea grape trees is a mandatory part of every Barbados tour. Some of the most popular dot the coastlines of Saint Philip Parish and Saint James Parish, a favorite haunt of the rich and famous. Relaxing on the white sands of Bottom Bay and picnicking under a coconut palm is a quintessential Barbados experience. Barbados beaches also offer some world-class surfing opportunities. Bathsheba Beach hosts local and international surf competitions. Families take their children to Rockley Beach or Enterprise (Miami) Beach to find calmer waters and fewer crowds.
