CHEAP CARIBBEAN HOLIDAYS

The Caribbean is known for its golden beaches and is certainly the main attraction for going on a holiday there. There are many islands to choose from however Barbados is the one that comes to most people’s mind when you mention the Caribbean.

There is 70 square miles of beach to enjoy along a 21 mile stretch so it’s never far to venture to get to the seaside. If it is beach you are after (there are many other things to do in Barbados or on the other islands) then it is all at your disposal. For such a luxury place there are NO private beaches, every metre is available to the public despite hotels placing themselves right next to the beach in order to give that perception. Therefore you can swim or sunbathe on any place you see fit.

With the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea both surrounding Barbados you have the choice of the calmer clear blue seas and white sands that are found featured on the typical postcards or if you want a more adrenaline filled adventure head to the east of the island where the crashing waves are filled with surfers.

The barrier reef which runs along the Atlantic Ocean side of the island is popular among tourists as a great place to go scuba diving. The coral reef is teeming with marine life and the crystal clear water allows great visibility for divers. Just off the coast of Canouan Island on the Atlantic Ocean are five uninhabited islands known as the Tobago Cays. These islands are world renowned for snorkeling and diving and since there is almost no human activity here, the marine eco system is largely undisturbed.
