Barbados Surfing Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

Expect surfable waves any day of the week, thanks to the coral reef surrounding the island's entire coastline.
Brave tireless waves that cross the Atlantic before breaking over the Continental Shelf.
Come for the 12-foot waves from October to March; half-size swells are the norm April through September.
Mix it up at Bathsheba's Soup Bowl on the east coast, where powerful waves, long walls, and hollow tubes keep surfers guessing.

Barbados Travel Guide

Endless pink- and white-sand beaches and a rich West Indian tradition are what put Barbados (Bar-bay-dose) on the map. Barbados is easily reached from the United States and has a grand array of hotels (many of them super expensive). Although it doesn't offer casinos, it has more than just beach life. It's a terrific destination for travelers interested in learning about West Indian culture, and it has more sightseeing attractions than most Caribbean islands. Read More

We are an extended family of 20 with 11 children ranging from 2 to 18 -4 families and a grandmother. We went to Mexico last January 1 and found it nice but not quite warm enough and not enough for the kids to do at the hotel. We went to Chel-ha and Telum but we would like for there to be lots of activities at the resort as well. We have a budget of about $1700.00-$1800.00 per person before taxes. Is there somewhere you can recommed for us?? Did I mention beautiful beach and lots of restauraunt choices?? A tall order, thank you so much. Catherine
