This coral island has some of the most gorgeous pinkish-white sand beaches in the world. And while its beaches and turquoise waters alone make this easternmost Island of the Caribbean well worth a trip, Barbados has much more to offer than this. Visitors can explore the unusual stalagmites and stalactites at Harrison’s Cave, mingle with the locals and eat some Bajan-style BBQ swordfish at the fish-fry market in Oistins, or tour Barbados’ Mount Gay Rum factory to see 300 years of rum in the making. Barbados’ long association with the British Empire can be seen in its capital’s old colonial style buildings including the third oldest parliament building in the commonwealth. To top it all off, many of the more touristic areas offer some excellent nightlife, particularly the Saint-Laurence Gap on southern coast of the island.
