Barbados

This is your three-part travel guide of Barbados, the easternmost Caribbean island and a country in the Lesser Antilles. Begin with a walking tour of Bridgetown, the capital city. Next, explore the beach circuit along the west, south and east coasts. On another day, drive north of Bridgetown along the western coast and then to the rugged eastern shores (this connects with the end of the beach circuit).
