The normal daily temperature is 26 degrees Celsius, the annual rainfall is almost ΒΌ inch. Imagine how beach lovers go crazy for the perfect weather in this paradise.
It is a refuge for those seeking tranquility and fun under one roof. The site of the white tasseled coral sand kissing the turquoise waters is so moving that you want to keep it in your memory bank and recall that wonder during a stressful time in the middle of the busy city.
Barbados touches the Atlantic Ocean on its east coast while playing with the waters of the Caribbean Sea on its west coast. As you go north or south, the water becomes more active and rough. Thus, water sports are widespread in these areas. The west and east coast are calmer with small waves; a good condition for swimming.
To be more specific, you will hardly find beaches on the north coast. This place is home to rugged and rugged coastlines, cliffs and various rock formations. Although not ideal for swimming for obvious reasons, this setting is good for hikers looking for some Caribbean action. With big, strong currents, the east coast is perfect for surfing and extreme water sports. Also, this place is recommended for tanning and walking because of its really long stretch.
To the south, the water becomes calmer and more peaceful. Swimming is now safe for children. Occasionally with medium high waves, windsurfing, body surfing and kitesurfing are still recommended in this area.
Dock on the West Coast or what is known to the outside world as the Platinum Coast and enjoy the best beaches around. Your Barbados vacation will never run out of ways and places to fascinate all the hawkers that crisscross the island.
