Barbadian Dreams

Take a morning Scuba dive in this underwater wonderland. The colors are magical.

Catch a ride on a catamaran day cruise and go snorkeling in the beautiful, crystal blue water. Feed tropical fish, explore a shipwreck, and (my favorite) swim with sea turtles! We used Cool Runnings Catamaran Sailing Cruises.

On the east coast of Barbados, this is the best spot on the island for surfing. If you don't surf, there's lots of neat little tide pools and reefs that are great for snorkeling, and you can always sunbathe ;).

Really gorgeous beach on the south coast of the island. Jet ski (so fun!) body surf, take a romantic stroll... Can't go wrong. Maybe pack a picnic for a beach day.

For a taste of the local scene, this place is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Amazing seafood, and a lively crowd of people visiting. Don't forget to check out Lexy's for dancing after! Some say Friday nights is best, some say it's too crowded... just a heads up!

We tried this another night. Really beautiful setting overlooking the ocean from the patio while you dine. Definitely pricey, but the view, delicious cocktails, and awesome food made it worth it.

On the weekends, this is the place to be for a young adult crowd. The DJ spins while people dance and chat and drink tasty rum punches! Monday night is supposed to be good for all ages, with shows, dinner and music.
