Barbados

Barbados has a laid-back vibe for a peaceful Caribbean vacation, which is one of its main draws. Barbados' beaches, such as Bathsheba, Carlisle Bay, and Dover, have pristine white sands where you can spend the day relaxing in between swims in the warm water. Spend an afternoon in Bridgetown admiring the old architecture while purchasing spices from local street vendors.

Barbados is a fun island to explore, with many tourist attractions and natural landmarks. Harrison's Cave provides a nice tour of the stalactite and stalagmite formations, and Animal Flower Cave is a sea cave that you can explore on your own. If you enjoy snorkeling, you should book a day trip that takes you to see shipwrecks and swim with sea turtles.
