BARBADOS Best for Waves | Beach Hotels | Luxury

Barbados offers great waves, stand up paddle boarding, surfing and other activities such as scuba diving. The most easterly of the Caribbean islands, the British colonial past of Barbados is visible in the historic plantation houses around the island. Barbados has some of the very best beaches, fine dining, luxury hotels and a vibrant nightlife. There are no limits to your wave sailing here with conditions for both classic wave riding and for new moves. A 1-2.5 metres depth over the Silver Sands reef, 250 metres from the shore, creates outside waves of 1-3 metres making Barbados the ideal choice to improve your wave sailing.
