About Barbados
Barbados is the easternmost island in the Caribbean, 34 km long and shaped by coral rather than volcanoes - which is why the west coast is calm and the east coast is Atlantic surf. Bridgetown and its garrison are a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the island is the birthplace of rum.
Known for Rum and distilleries, Crop Over, Atlantic surf on the east coast, Coral caves and Flying fish.
Getting around
Barbados is one of the easiest islands to explore without a car. Government Transport Board buses, private minibuses and route-taxi vans (ZRs) run island-wide at a flat fare of BBD $3.50 per trip — pay as you board. Bridgetown's terminals connect every parish, and services run late on the busiest south- and west-coast corridors.
