Cruising in the Caribbean is a must. Schooners depart Bridgetown throughout the day in season. White sails, turquoise ocean, and nothing but the prow through the waves. Not a mariner by nature? Then come to Rockley Beach, a perfect smile of sand licked by brilliant ocean. Wander the two mile boardwalk to Hastings or surf.
Paynes Bay Beach is one of the most popular for snorkelers, mainly because you are likely to see stately sea turtles. Shark Hole may sound daunting, but the saltwater pool is enclosed around 300 degrees. Make sure you don't miss out on Ostins Fish Fry, a Barbados institution. Here, the culinary creations celebrate the freshness of the seafood sold at next door's beachside market. Come on Friday nights when its buzzing with life.
