It's well known that Barbados has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! You will find stretches of calm and tranquil Caribbean seas on the west side of the country, which are absolutely great for swimming. In the south you'll encounter larger waves which are perfect for Water Sport activities like Boogie Boarding and Surfboarding. On the Atlantic side you'll find pounding waves and rugged shores which are a hit with Kiteboarders and surfers and offer more rustic beauty for those visiting the shores.
